A Grimm Brothers Tale
A king is dying. His three sons are sad. While the sons are weeping in the castle garden, a little man appears and informs them that he knows of a cure for their father-Water of Life. The oldest son sets off to find this cure. Along the way he scorns a dwarf. The dwarf secretly curses him and causes him to become stuck in a ravine. This interaction and curse are repeated with the second son. Both of these sons have impure motives. They believe if they cure their father, then he will leave the kingdom to them. The youngest son, however, really cares about his dying father with no thought of inheriting the kingdom. He, of course, finds the cure but is treated poorly by his older brothers. Will the truth be discovered?
A captivating tale I thought the end was a bit rushed.
The illustrations are lavish and intricate.
