  This picture book tells the story of a spoilt princess who learns that the simplest things can be the most fun, when a game of hide-and-seek proves to be the highlight of her birthday. The game is the highlight of Primrose's birthday and she is having so much fun that when the cake arrives she wants to carry on playing. She orders the cook's boy to play with her. To everyone's consternation, though, he refuses, unless she asks him nicely. Eventually, she does, bringing her birthday to a happy, polite conclusion.
