Once Upon a Mattress

 

Once upon a time, Queen Aggravain decreed that no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Dozens of princesses tried to win the prince's hand, but none could pass the queen's impossible tests. Then a "shy" swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up.
