Whimsy, to put it lightly

If you are looking for fun, look no further than The Duchess of Whimsy.  This is a tale of a quirky, elegant and beloved Duchess of Whimsy who barely notices the boring Earl of Norm, who adores her.  Barely noticed him; that is, until one evening when an unexpected turn of events, and a grilled cheese sandwich brings them together in a fortuitous way.

Not only does the moral of the story suggest that you look further and the surface of a person, but it is also refreshing change from the run of the mill princess or romance tale and the illustrations are simultaneously beautiful, unexpected and amusing.
