Of all the fairy tales ever written, one of the most delightful is the story of the little lame prince who was banished by a wicked uncle and sent to live in a solitary tower on a barren plain. There little Prince Dolor led a lonely life with only his books and toys to keep him company—until one day his fairy godmother appeared, bringing him a miraculous traveling cloak.
After that, the prince could soar the world over, seated on his wonderful cloak. What he saw going on below and how his new-found knowledge made him, in the end, the greatest king that Nomansland had ever had all are part of this beautiful story of a little lame prince whose imagination reshaped his destiny.
Among the most charming of the author's other stories are the rollicking adventures of the Brownie. Though full of tricks and mischief, the Brownie never does anyone any harm, and his endlessly entertaining antics have delighted generations of children.
Beautifully illustrated in color and black and white exclusively for the ILLUSTRATED JUNIOR LIBRARY.
