The handsome and valorous prince, before he can win his princess, must go through one perilous adventure after another. He must travel half across the world, lose himself in forests, suffer hunger and thirst, endure utter weariness and near-despair; he must do battle with giants and dragons, outwit wizards, witches, and goblins, prove his manhood in steadfastness, and his courage with his sword. Sometimes he himself falls under a spell, cast upon him by some malignant being: and then it is the princess’s turn to rescue him, which she does by the magic of her kiss.” In this collection of stories from many countries Ruth Manning-Sanders, a master storyteller, recreates a world where “evil can never finally stand its ground against the valor of the brave, the good, and the beautiful.” And Robin Jacques’ drawings evoke all the charm of character and place in this enchanted land, where each price and his princess always live “happily, ever-after.” CONDITION NOTES: Ex-Library hardcover with dustjacket.
