The Princess and the Penis Book Review *RJ Silver*

A few days ago while I was on Goodreads, I noticed an interesting book being read. My first thought was this book would be great to post for my WTFckery Sunday post. The book in question is titled, The Princess and The Penis, an apparent take off of the fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea.

I’ll admit, anything in a title with the word, penis makes me resort back to a mentality of a teenage. But then I read some of the reviews posted, and all of them were very positive. And then when I found out this 36 page fairy tale spoof was free to read, I decided to go ahead and give it a go. And why not? It’s free. But I do believe if RJ Silver, the author, had charged at least .99 cents for The Princess and Penis, he would have sold quite a number of copies because the buzz about this book has been non-stop this week.

The Princess and the Penis is about Princess Amalia, King Norwood’s virtuous and innocent daughter. He wants to make certain Amalia remains pure as the fresh snow and as innocent as a fawn, until he can find a husband worthy of her. Norwood sets his sights on a prince from one of the big kingdoms to help his impoverished kingdom thrive. When Amalia turns eighteen, the King picks Prince Rupert for her.

Now, since Amalia has special guards always around her to protect her virtue, there’s no reason for her parents to be worried that she will be breached, so to speak. Until one day, Amalia comes to them looking very exhausted. The reason is because of the lump under her rump all night long.

Her mattress is replaced, but night after night the lump comes back and pokes and prods her. Soon the lump becomes large and thick with a top like a mushroom with two apples on each side. The King thinks it’s an evil demon trying to steal her virtue and impregnate her. Amalia becomes attached to the creature that is quickly figured out to be a penis. Amalia likes snuggling with her new bedmate that reminds her of her former pet ferret when she pets it and allows it to rest in between her legs and breasts. Amalia’s parents are appalled. The King must figure out a way to get rid of the demon penis before Prince Rupert arrives to take Amalia as his bride. But the question remains. What is this penis doing in Amalia’s bed and why has it picked her to snuggle with?

The Princess and the Penis is an adorable and hilarious take on the Princess and the Pea. This is not a graphic or pornographic tale in anyway. Some may think so because of a penis being used as a character. The writing is really great and the outcome regarding Amalia and her new friend, the happy, cuddly penis will leave you laughing.

The discussions Amalia has about sex with her mother an aunt are some of the best sections in this story, behind Amalia explaining what she does with the penis each night.

The happily ever after is what you’d expect from reading a fairy tale, and shows how a princess’s sweet kiss can make everything perfect. As where she places her kiss and on what is for you to find out when you read.

For a short, engaging fairy tale that I can’t help but think would be a great picture book, give The Princess and the Penis a read. Amalia, her penis from the land of Shlongdia and RJ Silver will thank you if you do. (Available on Smashwords for free)

I hope RJ will decide to write more fairy tale spoofs like this one in the future.
