"The Princess and the Pea" is a fairy tale by Danish poet, travel writer, short story writer, and novelist Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). The tale was first published in 1835 as part of Andersen's first volume of fairy tales Eventyr, fortalte for Børn (Fairy tales, Told for Children). It is sometimes translated in English as "The Real Princess" or "How to tell a True Princess".

Answer 5

the idea behind the princess and the pea is that to tell if the girl were really a princess and not just some peasant pretender they put a pea under 7 matresses. because someone raised in a royal court and of royal blood would be so delicate and refined that she would feel the pea. a peasant girl use to rough cloth nad hard labor would not be so sensitive or delicate.
