The Simpleton's Triumph

By: Petrova, Anya

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.
