Annotation:
Set in medieval Italy, this fablesque fairy tale by Newbery-winner Sharon Creech follows the intertwining lives of the foolish and wealthy with the poor and imaginative.

A humorous, magical story unravels alongside a handful of gorgeous illustrations.
| Praise| "Creech combines traditional fairy-tale elements and expectations with a decidedly light touch to create her subtle political fable. The story is breezy and light despite the book's length; the author's graceful language conjures a serene vision of life in her imagined kingdom while gently sending up fairy-tale stereotypes." 11/1/2007 |
