The Princess’ Blankets

by Carol Ann Duffy

No matter what anyone tries, the princess cannot feel warm. Even the Earth’s, Forest’s, and Ocean’s blankets—brought by a mysterious stranger—leave her cold. Then a wandering musician arrives, and with his music, something changes. At last, the princess’s heart begins to melt—with warmth, and with love.
