Pro Reviews: Frog Prince

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    [A] miracle of the Now. The reader moves through it with eyes wide open upon the concrete and the fantastic at once.

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    [A] suggestively subtitled but unsaucy little book....Mitchell's mixture of folly and wisdom is diverting and enlightening....For every instance of bloated sermonizing... there are remarks of saving acuteness ....Ultimately, such wisdom redeems much of what might otherwise have been just another shaggy-frog story."

Publisher Notes: Frog Prince

  • The bestselling author of Tao Te Ching: A New English Version recasts the classic fairy tale, giving new emphasis to spirituality and the transcendent power of love.

    Since no one can do this as well as Stephen Mitchell, let me give you the first two paragraphs of Chapter One.

    "There are two kinds of women: those who marry princes and those who marry frogs. The frogs never become princes, but it is an acknowledged fact that a prince may very well, in the course of an ordinary marriage, gradually, at first almost imperceptibly, turn into a frog. Happy the woman who after twenty-five years still wakes up beside the prince she fell in love with. 'Entropy' is the name that our scientists give to this phenomenon, the irreversible downward slide of events: life becomes death, order becomes disorder, princes become frogs. That is the way of the world, scientists say, and most of us solemnly nod our heads in agreement. But the rules of physics, though they resemble the rules of an ordinary marriage, do not at all correspond to the rules of the human soul. There are no exceptions to the rules of physics, whereas the rules of the soul consist of nothing BUT exceptions. That is why I want to tell you a different kind of love story, about a frog who became a prince...."
