James Thurber's grasp of language in this book is masterful. It is in no way a children's book alone, anyone will appreciate his wit, his prose, his characters, his obvious attention to detail.

This story is about the cold Duke, the lovely Princess Saralinda, the prince who seeks her hand, the unexplainable Golux and the dreaded Todal. It is a classic tale, nothing extraordinary in the plot, but the writing is beautiful. It is worth reading, and worth reading twice a year.
