Pohádky princezen Série
Tato série humorně obrací naruby tradiční pohádkové motivy. Zaměřuje se na důsledky magických setkání, kde laskavost může přinést nečekané odměny, zatímco špatné chování má své nepříjemné následky. Příběhy často zkoumají myšlenku, že skutečná láska a hodnota překonávají povrchní soudy a že kouzlo se nemusí vždy chovat spravedlivě.
