Three princes. One enchanted forest. A kind heart that breaks a curse.
In a kingdom where strength and cunning are prized above all else, three princes set out into an enchanted forest. Prince Rolf is a fierce warrior. Prince Theron is a clever strategist. And then there is the youngest, Prince Simpleton, a gentle boy whose kind heart his brothers mock as weakness.
When his brothers stomp on an anthill, try to catch a flock of ducks, and reach for a beehive's honey, Simpleton stands in their way and protects each creature. He has no idea that the mysterious Forest Guardian is watching every choice he makes.
At the edge of the forest stands a cursed castle, where every person has been turned to stone. To break the spell, the princes must gather a thousand scattered pearls in a single day, bring up a key from the bottom of a treacherous lake, and pick out the youngest of three identical princesses. Strength and cleverness won't be enough. The friends Simpleton made along the way might be.
Inside this beautifully illustrated fairy tale:
- A classic quest inspired by the Queen Bee fairy tale, full of enchanted forests, cursed castles and impossible tasks
- A warm story about compassion, respect for nature and forgiveness between brothers
- Detailed black-and-white illustrations throughout
- A lovely read-aloud for families, and a good choice for young readers who enjoy classic fairy tales
The Simpleton's Triumph: A Fairy Tale of Kindness is a heartwarming tale for children ages 6-10 and anyone who believes gentleness is a kind of courage. It's a reminder that real strength comes from a kind heart.
