Prince of Fools
Sebastian Darke has the world on his narrow shoulders. The son of a human father and an elvish mother, he is desperately trying to become the family breadwinner as a jester and self-styled "Prince of fools". Trouble is, Sebastian can't tell a joke to save his life.
Accompanied by his talking (and endlessly complaining) buffalope, Max, he sets off for the fabled city of Keladon, where he hopes to be appointed court jester to the incredibly powerful King Septimus. On the way he encounters a tiny but powerful warrior called Cornelius; the beautiful and captivating Princess Kerin; blood thirsty Brigands and enough perils to make him wonder why he ever decided to leave home.
A swashbuckling adventure in the great tradition of THE PRINCESS BRIDE.
