Synopsis: "It's certainly a daring thing for any contemporary writer to take over a traditional fairy-tale plot—four brothers courting one orphan princess in an imaginary land of castles and fine clothes—and yet get away with it so successfully. ... [Lawrence lets] the story develop with its own logic, and without ever bringing on any superannuated dragon, facetious old witch or other played-out props from a now dead genre." --brief review in "Junior Fiction" by Nicholas Tucker, New Statesman 85.2201 (1973-05-25) p778-79
