Description
|
|
|
|
The author of The Phantom Tollbooth and The Dot and the Line, as well as the Caldecott Medal winner The Hello, Goodbye Window, Norton Juster penned this little three-story gem in 1965. The first tale tells of Alberic and his endless search for wisdom; the second reveals a boy with no illusions and a princess with no kingdom. The third is the tale of the richest monarch in the world—and the poorest. What each of these characters discovers is as amusing as it is unexpected. The text, for readers 9 to 12, is peppered with the old-world drawings of Domenico Gnoli.
