Genre: Fairy Tale / Romantic Fantasy
A fairy tale for people who know love is real, ridiculous, and absolutely worth every monkey.
Once upon a time, on a beautiful island farther from anywhere than anywhere, a princess met a reckless vagabond and they fell madly in love. Then her evil uncle shipped her off to a place called Slone, hired a black magician to destroy their love, and infected the vagabond with a disease that ends with the victim coughing up their own duodenum. As you do.
The Princess and the Vagobond is a fairy tale that takes true love seriously — and everything else exactly as absurdly as it deserves. Somewhere in there is a stone called the Melta Delta Transportay Stone, a duodenum collection in a gold-lidded jar, a falcon who speaks only in old-fashioned English, a doctor who laughs himself free of torture, and the question: can two people who genuinely love each other survive distance, disease, doubt, and a prince named Wrecks?
Fans of The Princess Bride, Gabriel García Márquez’s magical realism, and early Nick Hornby will find something here they didn’t know they were missing. Third Edition — originally published 2005.
