故事經(jīng)過了繪者改編，看得出刪了些冗長的字句。此外，原故事里無法破解謎題的王子們其實都被國王砍了頭，改編者手下留情，改成了“消失”。原著的老兵變成了小花匠。最后嫁人的不是大姐，改成了小妹?？偟膩碚f，改編讓這個故事多了一丟丟人情味。
不過，這類童話該有的老套情節(jié)，這本里有；該有的偏見和諷刺，這本也有。
比如中間姐姐們嘲笑Lina：
1、her sisters burst out laughing, and the eldest pointed out that a princess ought never to lower herself by looking at an ordinary garden boy.”
2、they teased her, saying, "why don't you marry him? You could become a gardener, too, and help him bring our bouquets every day."
聯(lián)系下末尾那句，感覺作者真是在諷刺啊：“The wedding was held the very next day, and the king declared that when he died Michael would inherit the kingdom. So Lina did not become a gardener's wife, after all. Instead, one day, Michael would be king.”
小花匠終究還是沒有要挾小公主，所以小公主最后才會對他“于心不忍”吧。
勉勉強強算得上一個“雙向奔赴”的故事，雖然各中邏輯依然諸多不合理。
不過，老童話嘛，估計就這樣。
看臉可買，不看臉，買不買都無所謂。
