However, when his father, the king, dies, the prince's life takes a turn for the worse. His uncle, who becomes the new king, banishes him to a remote tower and takes over the kingdom. The prince's only companions in the tower are a wise old tutor and a magical cloak that allows him to travel anywhere he wishes. With the help of these two friends, the prince embarks on a series of adventures that lead him to discover his true identity and reclaim his rightful place as the ruler of the kingdom. The Little Lame Prince is a heartwarming tale of courage, perseverance, and the power of kindness.Nothing either frightening or ugly, but still exceedingly curious. A little woman, no bigger than he might himself have been had his legs grown like those of other children; but she was not a child--she was an old woman. Her hair was gray, and her dress was gray, and there was a gray shadow over her wherever she moved. But she had the sweetest smile, the prettiest hands, and when she spoke it was in the softest voice imaginable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
