The Princess and The Princess tells the story of Popplepea, a poor polite princess, and Twinkleberry, a rich rude princess, who meet on a narrow mountain path and neither will move to let the other one pass. Everyone who tries to help gets stuck up there on the mountain with them.
After a riddle provided by the Royal Wise Person proves both princesses are 'real', it is Popplepea who graciously steps aside - not because she has to, but because she so chooses.
