Fairy-tale world. Beautiful illustrations. Important theme. Definitely recommended!

(What's up with the wolf, though?)

ೄྀ࿐ Quotes ೄྀ࿐
☐ "The prince's brain whirled with thoughts of vast lands, and sailing ships, and diamonds, and above all, his father's crown. "There are things I desire that I do not possess." "Then," said Rosamund quietly, "perhaps you are poorer than I, for there is nothing I desire that I do not already possess."
☐ "A man who has friends is truly rich."

This is an original fairy tale about an arrogant prince and his search for a bride formatted as a chapter book .A dying king makes his son his heir--on one condition. Vain Prince Raphael must marry a woman who is his equal in beauty, intelligence, and wealth. Where is such a woman? A search throughout the kingdom proves fruitless. Then the lovely Rosamund appears at the palace, as if by magic, and Raphael is certain he has found his wife. She is intelligent and wealthy, as well as beautiful--certainly his equal. But Rosemund must teach the prince what being an equal truly means.

In this Fairy Tale, a proud prince learns that the only way he can truly become King is if he finds a wife who equals him in intelligence, beauty and wealth. A magic wolf and Grimm-like illustrations make this a stand out for Fairy Tales. ( )

The King's Equal tells the tale of values. What is beauty? What do you need to know to be intelligent? What do you need to possess to be wealthy?

The story opens as the beloved king is dying. Knowing that his son was not ready to be crowned king, the king told his son that he must find a wife equal in wealth, beauty, and intelligence before he can wear the crown. Being vain and arrogant, the prince could find no one that was his equal.

Rosamund, who lived in the far corner of the realm with her three goats, met a wolf who spoke to her because she was kind and generous. After a time, the wolf sent Rosamund to see the queen, knowing she would be his equal. He gave her a magic circlet and sent her to the prince. Not only did she prove that she was equal to the prince in wealth, intelligence, and beauty, but she was his superior. She sent the prince off to live in the cabin and care for the three goats for a year before she would marry him.

The prince learns a valuable lesson about what is important and comes back to marry Rosamund. A lovely story and beautifully illustrated by Vladimir Vagin. ( )
