The Princess and the Pea

As seen in the window of Oxford's Story Museum.

Apparently the tale hasn't always been liked: in 1934 the critic Toksvig called it "not only indelicate but indefensible, in so far as the child might absorb the false idea that great ladies must always be so terribly thin-skinned".

But surely it's all tongue in cheek - note, for example, the speech given by the princess the next morning, full of double ententres (sleepless night, kept awake by something hard in bed, think it bruised her etc).

Either way, we now know where to find the pea!
