The stories in Love Your Neighbor are about friendship, loyalty, and love. There are tales about stubborness and prejudice, tolerance and being different. There are stories about growing up, living by one's convictions, and leaving home. And there are tales about freedom, lending a helping hand, and our relationship to earth. Each ends with a thought-provoking question, rather than a moral, that is intended to invite discussion about the moral issues posed by the story and its characters.

A retelling of the Bohemian fairy tale, "The Prince and the Princess" by Marianna Mayer, this book is loosely based on the tale popularized as ``Long, Broad and Quickeye,'' tells of a prince who falls in love with the stained-glass image of an enchanted princess. He manages to save her against all odds with the help of three colorful and humorous sidekicks, he assumes superhuman powers that take him through the gates of the forbidding Iron Castle. Jacqueline Rogers' full-color acrylics show a skilled range of vividly detailed artworl, from humorous cartoons of the travelers to a solidly menacing dragon to translucent overlays of white for lace curtains and the soul of the princess escaping.The set is handsome, imaginative, and should be popular with fairy-tale fans who would like the stories to go on a bit.
