About This Book

A young mountain king, bored with pomp and ceremony, leaves his palace with an elegant elephant companion and undertakes a journey that crosses deserts, enchanted woods, and peculiar places such as a field of feathers and Nonagon Island. Along the way they meet a princess from another planet accompanied by a thunder colt, confront a glubrious villain named Gludwig and a sinister magic dinner bell, and face various red sorceries. Through adventure, bold alliances, and the restoration of the Red Jinn, the travelers resolve the magical crises and return to a transformed order of rulership in their mountain realm.
