The Princess, The Prince and the Witch who Lied

The Princess, the Prince, and the Witch Who Lied

A Magical Fairy Tale About Courage, Family, and the Power of Truth

by Lewis J. Wise

In a faraway kingdom, a kind young prince and his brave little sister learn a shocking secret. Their oldest brother isn’t lost at all. He has been locked away by a wicked witch, because he knows the truth.

Against their father’s warnings, the two children slip into the dark forest to face the witch. Everyone expects the prince to stand up to her. Instead, his little sister steps forward and does something no sword or spell could do: she speaks the truth. With every honest word, the witch’s power fades.

But the story doesn’t end with the witch’s defeat. The king finds the courage to admit his own mistake in front of the whole kingdom. The family forgives one another. Even the witch is shown mercy. On the last night, under the stars, the brother and sister promise to always tell each other the truth, even when it’s hard.

With rich, glowing illustrations on every page, this classic-style fairy tale helps children understand that:

• The truth is stronger than any spell. Lies hide in the dark, but honesty brings everyone into the light.
• Courage can be calm. You don’t have to be the biggest or the strongest to stand up for what’s right.
• Even grown-ups make mistakes. Saying “I was wrong” and “I’m sorry” takes real bravery.
• Forgiveness and mercy heal families.

The book ends with The Royal Rule and Let’s Talk Together questions to spark meaningful conversations at bedtime, at home or in the classroom.

Perfect for ages 5–10, for read-aloud time, character lessons, and any child who has ever wondered: “What if the story isn’t exactly as it seems?”
