About The Court Jester and the Princess by Leonard Bridgeman
The Court Jester and the Princess is a humorous, exquisitely crafted, illustrated fairy story designed for children aged four to ten, and the adults who enjoy reading to them. Cuthbert, the Court Jester, is secretly in love with the beautiful but headstrong Princess Arabella, and he is horrified when she is kidnapped by Beastly Boris the ogre. But what can the timid Cuthbert do about it? Surely Cuthbert’s handsome brother Orlando, captain of the royal guards, is more suited to rescue the princess? This “first reader” explores the importance of being yourself and the maxim that appearances can be deceptive. The story combines laughter with traditional values, leading to a surprise ending which leaves both young and old with a smile. It is a story where the “medicine” of a good moral goes down easily with a large spoonful of humour.
