The illustrations are just gorgeous in this book. I stopped on every page to admire what was going on. I really couldn't get behind the story, though. There wasn't any context, it just felt like someone describing a generic fairy tale: the prince was captured while the king and queen were gone, but with the help of his people, managed to get back home. That's basically it, who knows where the king and queen went or why, who came to capture the city and the prince and why it was so dang easy, if the people could have easily risen up against their captors like they did at the end, why didn't they do it first to not let themselves be captured, or anytime in the 4 days that the prince was imprisoned? ANYWAY the pictures are great.
