Bookroo's summary

Pondlarker is a frog who has always believed he is really a prince. He sets out to find a princess whose kiss will break the spell, but the closer he gets to royal life, the less he likes what he sees. This playful twist on the frog-prince tale asks whether being yourself might be better than living happily ever after.
