The Princess and the pea

<p>"The Princess and the Pea" is a literary&nbsp;fairy tale&nbsp;by&nbsp;Hans Christian Andersen&nbsp;about a young woman whose royal identity is established by a test of her sensitivity. The tale was first published by Andersen in 1835.&nbsp;Andersen had heard the story as a child, and it likely has its source in folk material, possibly originating from Sweden, as it is unknown in the Danish oral tradition.&nbsp;Neither "The Princess and the Pea" nor Andersen's other tales of 1835 were well received by Danish critics, who disliked their casual, chatty style and their lack of morals</p>
