About MeAt the end of the fairy tale, a brightly coloured coach appears, with eight beautiful horses, decked with plumes of feathers and a golden harness and behind the coach rides the Prince's servant, faithful Heinrich, who had bewailed the misfortunes of his master during his enchantment. The royal couple set out for the Prince's kingdom where they lived happily for a great many years.

Although the story book of 'The Frog Prince' was mass-produced, it retained a high level of craftsmanship, as Crane was concerned with every aspect of the book design, in addition to the illustrations.
