Santi, Jordi, la princesa i el drac
Santi, Jordi, the Princess and the Dragon presents a slightly different take on the classic dragons and princesses story. . . . The story's protagonist is a princess who lives - in two castles! One of these she shares with her mamá, her papu (her father-in-spirit) and a whole heap of relations, and in the other she lives with her papá and her mamu (who in no way resembles a wicked step-mother). Every week she goes between the castles on her bicycle . . . without realising that she is riding right over the little vegetable patch that a retired dragon is trying to cultivate! When the dragon discovers who is responsible for his tomatoes' disappointing performance: oh dear! Only the wise intervention of Santi and Jordi (the princess's father and her father-in-spirit) can get the dragon to free her (she was about to die of boredom up on the roof of the the dragon's house!) whereupon the fathers make a deal to get their little one to help tend the vegetable patch. #stepfamily
