Die Prinzessin auf der Erbse

Her delicate nature is central to the story, but I wonder what inspired the choice to make her so perceptive and fragile. Did it come from traditional tales or a new idea?

The idea that authenticity matters over appearances feels timeless. I’d love to hear if others see this as a modern twist or a classic theme.

The straightforward narrative makes it accessible, but I’m curious whether this simplicity was a conscious choice to preserve its magical feel or based on childhood memories.
