THE FOREST PRINCESS is loosely based on an old fairy tale from the Dolomites, a mountain range in the Northeast of Italy.
The original title is 'The Two Mothers'. The version I used was taken from a book published in 1913 under the title Dolomiten-Sagen (Legends of the Dolomites, collected by Karl-Felix Wolff).
Most characters of The Forest Princess have been changed, and the outcome and core message, as well as large parts of the narrative are new.
Here are some of the central themes of this contemporary tale:
Ecology
Sustainability
Love
Independent women
Family karma
