About This Book

A young woman raised by a noblewoman cures an ailing king and is granted the unusual reward of choosing a husband; she names a reluctant young nobleman who rejects her and departs. Determined, she follows and uses wit and carefully staged deceptions, with the aid of a sagely courtier and a boastful companion, to secure his recognition and marriage. The work interweaves comic episodes with serious moral questions, exploring merit versus social rank, the ethics of disguise and trickery, and a woman's agency in pursuing love and justice.
