About This Book

A small prince with second sight and a set of enchanted arrows is ousted by a scheming relative and escapes into a sequence of enchanted lands. The narrative follows his meetings with fairies, mermaids, sprites, demons, and a band of Brownies as he is adopted, kidnapped, voyaged across seas, and endangered by earthquakes, fires, and volcanic peril. Episodic chapters present rescues, inventive antics, and collective problem-solving in fantastical settings. The tone is fanciful and illustrated, emphasizing friendship, resourcefulness, and the idea that bravery and worth are not measured by size.
