Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which fairy wished Amethyst to be ordinary?

Answer: Crustacea

Crustacea was the "fairy-in-charge-of-water" and was the last to give her gift to Amethyst Alexandra Augusta Araminta Adelaide Aurelia Anne (later known as simply Amy).

2. What did King Hulderbrand say inviting fairies to the christening was?

Answer: rash

In fact, he said it so many times both before and after the christening that he caused the Prime Minister to resign and Queen Rodhesia to hate the word.

3. What does the Lord High Chamberlain suggest they hire to trick a prince into marrying Amy?

Answer: dragon

The idea was a prince would fight the dragon because princes love to fight dragons and then he would have to marry The Ordinary Princess, even though he had never seen her.

4. After Clorinda tells the Ordinary Princess about the dragon, what does Amy want to trade?

Answer: dresses

Amy is very upset when she hears the plan and runs away from home to live in the Forest of Faraway.

5. Why did Amy leave the Forest of Faraway?

Answer: she needed a new dress

Amy realizes her dress is wearing out when she meets the fairy Crustacea. She suggests Amy go to the nearby town and work to earn money for a new dress.

6. What did the young man Amy met in the banquet hall after the great feast call himself?

Answer: man-of-all-work

Amy had gone looking for nuts for Mr. Pemberthy (her squirrel) and ended up eating strawberry ice cream with the nice young man.

7. What did Prince Peregrine and Princess Amy call the little home they built in the forest?

Answer: The Birches

Amy was very clear about wanting an ordinary name, not something grand, so they chose The Birches because it was built between two silver birch trees.

8. Who gave away Princess Amy's secret to Prince Peregrine?

Answer: Marta

Amy ran into her nurse, Marta, in the forest and Peregrine found out the truth about Amy. Then later that day Amy was distracted by what to do and she broke four dishes and was fired!

9. Whom does Amy end up marrying?

Answer: the King of Ambergeldar

Yes, good old Peregrine, also known as Algernon, was in fact the King of Ambergeldar and he and Princess Amethyst of Phantasmorania marry. Plumblossomburg is where Perry's Aunt Hedwig and Cousin Persephone are from. The Duke of Rubarbary was one of Amy's suitors and Aurelious is the last name of her bird Peter.

10. What words are missing from this rhyme: "Lavender's _____, Rosemary's _____- When you are King, I shall be _____."?

Answer: blue, green, Queen

"Lavender's blue,
Rosemary's green-
When you are King,
I shall be Queen."
This song is one of Amy's favorites and Peregrine often whistles it when they are together. It also provides the names of the four parts of the book.
