In this second story from the world of Antyfas, we follow Cristiano's little brother, Tino. He is waiting for his brother to come home from visiting Dusbar College. They are planning a belated birthday party, and Tino is very excited for his favorite dessert, peach pie. Just as the guests are arriving, Tino receives a party invitation from a gnome, and decides that he would rather go to a bigger party with the gnomes. But Tino gets more than he bargained for with the gnomes, and it's up to Cristiano to save his brother!

At Princess Amy's christening, one of the fairies grants her the gift of ordinariness. Compared to her beautiful royal sisters, Amy is plain and ordinary. All her sisters have long blonde hair and perfect complexions. Amy has short mousey brown hair and freckles on her nose. As Amy grows up the royal family is distressed, because no prince wants to marry an ordinary princess with freckles. Princess Amy must take her destiny into her own hands, and prove that you don't have to be beautiful and perfect to find happiness.

Aunt Crete, with her sweet personality and patient nature, is bullied by her sister and niece, always forced to do the most difficult chores around the house. When her nephew comes to visit from the West, Aunt Crete is liberated from her oppressive relatives in a hilarious weekend at the seashore.

I do love Rudyard Kipling's writing, but I found this book difficult to get through. It took me a year to read little by little through all of the short stories and poems and essays, because I didn't enjoy most of them.
