Twins Jane and Rebecca are convinced that they are half of a quadruplet of princesses, who because of an earthquake, fell through Egypt, and the Far West, finaly dropping from the sky into their current neighborhood, a trailer park. The two "princesses" survey their domain every day in the hopes that the King's carriage with their sisters will appear to save them, and their mother the amnesiac Queen. One day they meet an old woman who suggests that perhaps if THEY are secretly princesses, who knows how many other children at school are royalty as well. A delightful tongue-in-cheek story with many "tremblements de terre".
