A semi-formal garden of archways and flowerbeds in Wales at the home of her uncle and aunt became the background for the illustrations. She realized however that children most enjoyed her rabbit stories and pictures, and so reached back to characters and plot elements from The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (1904) to create The Flopsy Bunnies.

The twist, however, is that Marie is not the queen\’s daughter, but rather Rumpelstiltskin\’s. ![]() It\’s a whole lot closer to the story of \”Rumpelstiltskin\” than The Princess Fugitive was to \”Little Red Riding Hood.\” Marie\’s mother is the miller\’s daughter who married into royalty when she demonstrated that she could spin straw into gold, and Marie is the child who was promised to Rumpelstiltskin in return. She is a princess who never quite looks as much like a princess as she is supposed to. The Princess Pact tells the story of Marie, who was first introduced in The Princess Companion as an ally to Alyssa. The more I read the series, the more it feels like coming back to visit a beloved land instead of exploring a strange and unfamiliar one.
