Yes, true love is impossible.

No, that's never prevented anyone from finding it.

In this brilliant jewel of a book, Stephen Mitchell expands and deepens the classic fairy tale in the most unexpected ways, giving new emphasis to its message of the transcendent power of love.

The Frog Prince tells the story of a meditative frog's love for a rebellious princess, how she came to love him in spite of herself, and how her refusal to compromise helped him become who he truly was. It tickles the mind, opens the heart, and holds up a mirror to the soul. The Frog Prince is a leap of faith for anyone who's ever felt stuck in the romantic mud.

Stephen Mitchell's many books include The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, The Book of Job, Tao Te Ching, Parables and Portraits, The Gospel According to Jesus, and Meetings with the Archangel.
