About This Book

An aging tailor in a forest court narrates a series of linked fairy tales centered on a mysterious doublet and its missing button. The frame story unfolds over several nights as listeners hear adventures of unicorns, enchanted garments, sorcerers, genies, and princely quests that blend whimsy, danger, and clever problem-solving. Episodes shift between humorous interludes and perilous trials—rescuing bewitched figures, confronting magical craftsmen, and escaping enchantments—while recurring motifs of bargains, tests, and talismanic clothing bind the tales into a cohesive cycle.
