In a far off land, a very musical king has a not-very-musical son. Everyone pretends to enjoy the prince’s terrible concerts, but a bold servant girl refuses to play along. The king demands she be punished, but the prince shows mercy. Happily, the prince and the servant girl come up with an arrangement that showcases the prince’s true talent.

Short

A nice enough story, but it's too short to be a stand-alone title, it's almost more preamble than story.

fun but ends prematurely

Whilst the story is orated very well, the tale itself doesnt have a great moral - and seems to end rather prematurely. It fails to address the apathy of the prince, the concept of slavery, or reward characters proportionately to their efforts. not great for kids.

Never will turn away a Dina Gregory book

Not my favorite of her books but still a good story and much can be taught from it still. I tend to look at all of her books through a teaching standpoint. I still remember the first book I read of hers, 'The Pelbunkin'. I had the kids cowering under blankets with bulging eyes and then amazed at the new vocabulary words they learned all from a "child's" book! They were after all going into 5th grade and told by parents and teachers they were not allowed to read baby books any longer. Well, I took care of that. ;-)

Female power mediviel style

Tge story was unique in idea and made laugh so a quick laugh for the kids. Do the voices could have been better to stale in my opinion.

Missed opportunity

It’s the Emporer’s New Clothes with a missed opportunity for evolution.
It ends as it begins, with an entitled prince and a girl servant.

For a longer, livelier, more girl positive fairy tale, I suggest Eligible Maidens by Layla Carr,
which may also still be free in Audible.

Dina Gregory is Better than This

The Haberdasher Prince is not a good example of the talent of Dina Gregory. The prince, who has no talent, takes a servant girl, who shows him up by playing beautifully as his "property"? This short tale lacks the wit, humor and quirkiness of most of this author's previous efforts.

Terrible

This is terrible I hate it it is super short I don't like it tebril
