Excellent little fairy tale
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is the first time that I have read any of Mr. Thurber's writing, and I must say that I am rather impressed. This is a pleasant story about a strong, but not very wise, king and his three sons who are sent on quests to win a beautiful princess (who may or may not actually be a deer). It is a book that makes serious points through a story that is often tremendously silly. Mr. Thurber's drawings are terribly bad, so bad that they are actually quite humerous. I must say that I have never seen such horrendous drawings in a book before, yet they somehow add to the story. Overall grade: A
