2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A very funny story with a moralBy Israel DrazinThis tale by the famed English satirist William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863), author of the highly respected Vanity Fair, is a childrenrsquo;s story filled with humor and sprinkled lavishly with nonsense. It is the story of a fairy, a king of two kingdoms, their offspring, and an old ugly woman. Virtually every name in the tale is funny, as is all the incidences. Children will not understand every satire, but will enjoy the tale. Adults will do both.The legitimate king and queen of both kingdoms were dethroned by people who should not have done so. The son of one kingdom is kept in the palace but receives no education and cannot even spell. The daughter of the other kingdom wandered away during the rebellion and was raised by lions. A fairy was invited to all royal births and gave magical gifts. She gave a magical ring to the mother of the uneducated boy before the rebellion, who passed it on to her son, and a feather to the son of the other kingdom after his father ceased the kingdom. Both items made the wearer appear to be the most handsome or beautiful person in the kingdom. The fairy became tired of giving magical gifts and so, at the birth of the later uneducated son and the birth of the daughter who was later raised by lions, she gave the wish that the suffer some adversities (and therein lies the moral of the tale). All of the fairies gifts, of course, came true, and therein lies the story.For example, different people secured the ring and feather at different times. Once, an ugly old lady picked up the ring and the uneducated son fell in love with her and promised to marry her, and signed a paper to that effect. But later, when she wasnrsquo;t wearing the ring, he fell in love with the girl who was raised by the lions. What could he do?Beside the adventures resulting from the ring and the feather, there was the problem of how to rectify the illegal seizure of kingdoms.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. No illustrationsBy CustomerPart of the charm of the original book was the wonderfully funny illustrations that Thackeray himself made. Without the illustrations, this book is only half as enjoyable as it should be. The font is also way too tiny, and the margins way too large. All in all, a great story but a horrible reading experience.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerBest book ever written! Very, very clever and such a wonderful life lesson.

About the AuthorWilliam Makepeace Thackeray was a nineteenth century English novelist who was most famous for his classic novel, Vanity Fair, a satirical portrait of English society. With an early career as a satirist and parodist, Thackeray shared a fondness for roguish characters that is evident in his early works such as Vanity Fair, The Luck of Barry Lyndon, and Catherine, and was ranked second only to Charles Dickens during the height of his career. In his later work, Thackeray transitioned from the satirical tone for which he was known to a more traditional Victorian narrative, the most notable of which is The History of Henry Esmond. Thackeray died in 1863.
