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.

Transcriber’s notes

The width of this document has been set to a maximum, to keep the illustrations in place. An effort has been made to keep the pictures as crooked as they were in the original.

A few punctuation errors have been corrected, and on page 142 “is” was changed to “as” (make it as hard as you can). Otherwise the original has been preserved, including inconsistent hyphenation.
