Things are not what they may seem;

Night is day and slow is swift;

What seems a curse may be a gift.

Fairy tale story about accepting oneself

Beautiful set of short stories written by an even more beautiful soul. Written in a fairy-tale-timeless-classic sort of style, I enjoyed this book greatly and found it inspiring and highly relevant to my life but would also expect anybody to relate to the story and the way the main character develops.

Highly highly recommend for people of all ages to read, for adults it's quite refreshing to read something that's worded more simply than most things you read nowadays but contains more meaning and wisdom than most things as well. A nice change of pace.

Read the book if you believe in love or want to again. The narration is excellent, btw.

Enchanting fairytale.

The Princess Who Sang Like a Frog is easily one of the best books that I’ve read this year. If you’re a fan of fairytales then this a must-read. The author does an amazing job of keeping you intrigued and wanting more. At first you think you know where the story is going but this tale has so many magical turns. It’s truly a wonderful twist of a fairytale, a clever love story, & a delightful tale all on its own!

Magical, inspiring stories

These beautiful stories—read beautifully by the author-play with the conventions of fairy tales yet are still satisfyingly full
of magic. So well written and told—and full of wise fun.

Royal Enchantment

Love the concept of the writer narrating their own beautifully written story. Callie’s voice brings a calming and nurturing sound that keeps you engaged and wanting more!!

Imaginative and Relevant

Cardamon’s “wisdom tales" are beautifully crafted and engagingly performed. She invites listeners into worlds where linear time and physical reality don't limit the character's possibilities for growth and redemption. These allegories feel magical, but relevant and hopeful, too. Give yourself over to these tales and their wisdom. You won’t regret it.

A Startling Experience

Cardamon's "The Princess Who Sang Like a Frog" is everything I'd hoped it would be and everything I hadn't known I needed it to be. It is more than a fairy tale: lyrically written and narrated, a joy to experience, but also unpredictable in terms of both plot and character. Its lessons and the revelations that come with them will stay with me for a while.

It's not often that I read something so entertaining as well as so deeply, profoundly moving. Kudos to the author for a stunning collection.
