A beautiful, chaste, and completely naive
princess encounters a strange lump in her mattress. The lump soon morphs into a
shape familiar to everyone but her, triggering her curiosity and her father's
greatest fears. He frantically tries to intervene, but having a large phantom
phallus in a curious maiden's bed is never a good combination.
The Princess and the Penis by RJ Silver reads like a fairy tale. In a way it is a fairy tale but
it’s much more geared towards adults than children. The story is about Amalia,
the princess, who is now 18 getting ready to marry Prince Rupert of Arginy. The
week before he’s due to arrive, she starts sleeping horribly caused by ‘a lump
in the rump.’ As the week goes by she starts to embrace the ‘lump’ instead of
trying to banish it like everyone else is trying to do. After Prince Rupert
arrives she takes to her bed for naps which is unlike her. She decides to kiss
the penis because she believes it is under some sort of spell. Prince Longwood
of the ancient Kingdom of Schlongdia appears and becomes her suitor instead.
When reading this story I couldn’t help but laugh at some of the things
happening. Like the princess declaring, “Whatever
this thing is, it needn’t be a pain in my rear when it can instead be a
pleasure on my front.” Then the queen faints. It’s silly but when 18 years
spent protecting the princess from anything to do with men fails quite
drastically what else was she supposed to do but faint.
Some of the word usage is quite funny. The Phantom Phallus and the
Kingdom of Schlongdia with Prince Longwood is really something to smile at.
It’s a cute story with a good moral. It reads like a Hans Christian Anderson
fairy tale.
Overall I think this story is a good read. It’s short so it doesn’t
take a lot of time to invest in the characters. I would recommend reading this.
I rate this book 3.5 stars.
