About This Book

A compact collection of fairy-tale and fantastical narratives in which rulers, a prince, and other figures confront prophetic dreams, vanished companions, and enchanted obstacles. Folkloric agents such as fairies and omens drive plots that turn on quests to recover lost family or love, sacrifices made to avert fate, and tests of character. Stories range from melancholic parable to adventurous romance, repeatedly exploring sorrow, perseverance, and the slow revelation of hidden truths that lead to reconciliation or resolution.
