What is the name of the children's book about the princess who wears iron boots?

Never heard of it.... Thanx 4 the points!!
Reply:I remember this plot being part of Hans My Hedgehog, which was one of the episodes of the Jim Henson TV show The Storyteller.

But the part about the iron shoes came from a different story (not called Hans My Hedgehog).





In Alison Lurie's Clever Gretchen and Other Forgotten Folktales, the story is called The Sleeping Prince. You can read the story at Google Books at the following link.

This story was also retold in a picture book, Princess Florecita and the Iron Shoes by John Warren Stewig.
