Hey! As soon as I started reading I thought (I KNOW this story) and I must admit that the ending had me laughing so hard I almost cried. Good work with this one!

its just like that russian fairy tale called 'The Frog Princess'.

what the heck? I liked it :P the story was like a fairy tail, pity he didn0t won anything on his father's eyes but hey, he won a FULL size man who can find him lost treasures and can make fine clothing. I think he has the upper hand.

this story of course has a sweet moral, kinda like the Disney ones and the more popular fairy tales between kids. Can't rally put to words what the moral of this story is unless it's: if you're loyal and wait long enough, you'll get a man. lmao

Although at the beginning I found it an awful lot similar to a story I can't really remember, a kid's story about a young prince that had three brothers and also fought against each other to gather the best gifts to offer their father. Although HE did indeed bring the best, not the most exotic, impressive or bigger, but the best in their simplicity. His love for his father was the trigger.

The court in this story is dumb, they never realized how smart he actually is.

I like this story, it's really story-bookish, but in a good way. I'd rather be reading this than cinderella any day!

“Perhaps we should go and figure out how much bigger?” he asked, scandalizing the court, his brothers and his father, as he dragged his pretty not-doll away.

That was the best part XD

loves it. specially the last part.

That was a really good retelling, if it was.

xD that was so properly written. the ending was predictable, but still adorable :]

Ah, this made my day so much brighter... That punch line was effective XX"D

I just love this! It's so cute.

XD I loved it! Especially the ending!

I really enjoyed your story! It really sounded like a fairytale! It was well written, entertaining, and quite humourous. I felt the ending was a little bit rushed. I would have liked to heard just a little bit more on how the courts reacted to the doll turning into a full grown man, and maybe a bit more on the curse. Other than that, I absolutely loved it! Hm, think I'll read another one of your stories now ]

XD i like it!

Very cute slashy fairy tale. I love that only Espin sees the value in the things he brings home. Though he should probably practice his archery. Once he's done examining his new bride's size...

I keep feeling like my childhood wouldn't be complete without this! Thanks a bunch!
