Maiden & Princess

(

)

... that the picture book Maiden & Princess, in which a maiden and princess fall in love, shares a fictional universe with Prince & Knight, in which a prince and male knight do the same? Source: Wong 2018: "Maiden & Princess is intended as a companion to Haack’s Prince & Knight, which was released in May as the inaugural effort in a new partnership between GLAAD and Bonnier Publishing USA. Acknowledging that both books 'exist in the same universe,' Haack told HuffPost..."

Comment: Kinda last-minute but could be fun for a Valentine's Day thing (February 14) or Lesbian Visibility Day (April 26).

Prosesize is good, article is new enough (moved to mainspace on Feb 7), and no copyvio was detected, and you did a QPQ review. I think there is other information in this article that could make an interesting hook, not just that it's in the same universe as another book. Maybe a hook about how the book takes fairy tale tropes and makes them wlw, or how the king and queen are accepting, but it's up to you. I haven't found anything on WP:CHL talking about this, but do plot summaries usually need sources? Also, would you like to include a picture of the cover as a part of the DYK? Other than that, I think it looks good. It would be cute for it to be on the main page on Lesbian Visibility Day.

Thanks for the review ‎Starsandwhales. My understanding is that plot summaries (regardless of whether they're children's books or other works) don't need in-text citations because the source is presumed to be the text of the thing itself (the one exception being if text is directly quoted from the work, which none is in this case). Unfortunately, we can't use the cover art on the main page because it's not freely licensed 😥

Here's an alternative hook; let me know if you like it better: ALT1: ... that the authors of the picture book Maiden & Princess sought to write an uncomplicated romance between a princess and a maiden that would resonate with children?

Thanks! —Collin^{t c} 23:40, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
