How strange! In the Forest of Luria, Lady Seseley of the yellow tresses stumbles upon a fairy bower . . . where the most unusual opportunity presents itself: the chance to transform an immortal being into a mortal. Before her eyes appears a handsome young knight: Prince Marvel. Setting out in search of adventure, he finds it aplenty on the enchanted isle, as he soon meets King of the Thieves Wul-Takim, and the fearsome giant, Red Rogue. An innocent among mortals though he is, Prince Marvel sets things right -- or maybe just topsy-turvy!

Présentation de l'éditeur :
I am going to tell a story, one of those tales of astonishing adventures that happened years and years and years ago. Perhaps you wonder why it is that so many stories are told of "once on a time", and so few of these days in which we live; but that is easily explained. In the old days, when the world was young, there were no automobiles nor flying-machines to make one wonder; nor were there railway trains, nor telephones, nor mechanical inventions of any sort to keep people keyed up to a high pitch of excitement. Men and women lived simply and quietly. They were Nature's children, and breathed fresh air into their lungs instead of smoke and coal gas; and tramped through green meadows and deep forests instead of riding in street cars; and went to bed when it grew dark and rose with the sun--which is vastly different from the present custom. Having no books to read they told their adventures to one another and to their little ones; and the stories were handed down from generation to generation and reverently believed.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Sesely, daughter of Baron Merd of Heg, and two companions are enjoying a picnic in the Forest of Lurla when they are accosted by a fairy. The fairy, bored with centuries of insipid fairy life, amazes the girls by pleading to be changed into a mortal. Though the girls are surprised that they might have the power to do such a thing, the fairy explains how it can be done. The girls agree to transform the fairy into a human boy for the space of one year. The newly-minted male is dubbed Prince Marvel, and, furnished with fairy arms and armor and an enchanted horse (a deer transformed), sets out to have adventures.
