"The king's youngest daughter goes to stay in the castle of a white bear. She is content there until her mother makes her suspicious and encourages her to light a candle to look upon her host at night. In doing so, she condemns the prince, who was turned into a bear by enchantment, to marry the Troll Queen who cast the spell. Only through great courage, effort, cunning, and goodness can the princess change his fate. Young girls enamored of princess tales and their elders seeking strong female role models can agree that this powerful, romantic story has it all. Longer than in most picture books, the text combines elements of three traditional folktales: "East of the Sun, West of the Moon," "The Black Bear of Norraway," and "The White Bear King.""
