Princess Smartypants (Picture Puffin S.) - Tapa blanda

Princess Smartypants enjoys being a Ms, but all the princes want her to become their Mrs. She is a strong and original character and fights hard to retain her independence in this new look at the traditional princess story.

Babette Cole was born in Jersey in the Channel Islands. She graduated from Canterbury College of Art in 1973 and was the illustrator and author of more than 150 witty, imaginative, irreverent and thought-provoking picture books for children including the bestselling, stereotype-defying Princess Smartypants. She produced animated storyboards for the BBC and illustrated numerous greetings cards and books by other authors as well as her own. Babette adored the countryside and was a keen horse rider and breeder. She spent much of her life in Lincolnshire, before moving to Kent and then westward through Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.
