About This Book

A playful prince is transformed into a red frog by a magic bush after being pushed by the chamberlain's son, who then helps his father install a false ruler. When a princess is later seized by the frog, a blue page named Omolo mounts a stork and, guided by a wise owl, seeks a magic sword. He wounds the frog with the sword, restoring the true king, who rewards Omolo, the stork, and others, raises an army of transformed robins, spares and punishes the usurpers, and marries the rescued princess, concluding with a joyful coronation.
