"Under the blazing heat of the Borneo sun, a beautiful naturalist's dream comes true-to live among the feral jungle creatures. But an untamed, irresistible beast of another sort forces her to explore her own wild side."
"The evil Duke of cold Coffin Castle fancies he has frozen time by stopping all of the clocks. He is fearful that one day a Prince may come and win away the hand of his niece, beautiful Princess Saralinda—the only warm hand in the castle. Several suitors have tried to court the Princess, but the Duke assigns them impossible tasks to thwart that fate. A few days before Saralinda's twenty-first birthday, a mysterious prince arrives to complete a seemingly impossible task and free Saralinda from the clutches of her uncle."
"In this brilliant retelling of the classic fairy-tale about the transcendent power of love, author Stephen Mitchell writes, 'There are two kinds of women: those who marry princes and those who marry frogs.' While the frogs never become princes, over the course of an ordinary marriage, a prince may turn into a frog. However, Mitchell tells of a different kind of love story. This adult fairytale is the story of a meditative frog's love for a rebellious princess, how she came to love him in spite of herself, and how her refusal to compromise helped him become what he was truly meant to be. A magical tale that is both poignant and profound, The Frog Prince—performed by the author—opens the heart and will both amuse and enlighten its listeners."
