The notion that a kiss could transform a person from hideous monstrousness into a state of beauty and normality was popular in the Middle Ages. Many of the ingredients of the classic fairy tale are present in ‘The Frog-Prince’: the beautiful princess, the handsome prince, the marriage at the end, the magical transformation, the evil fairy/witch, the importance of the number three, and the idea of undergoing a trial before the happy resolution materialises. And that, in summary, is the story of the frog-prince. She accepted, and they went to live in the prince’s father’s land, where they were married and lived happily ever after.
