Summary
Alberic the Wise and Other Journeys
Three tales of wonder Three quests for greatness Three feats of imagination nbsp; Norton Juster, author of the beloved classic The Phantom Tollbooth, shares spellbinding stories that entertain and delight.nbsp; The first is of Alberic and his endless search for wisdom--will his journey satisfy him in the end? The second reveals a boy with no illusions and a princess with no kingdom. The third is the tale of the richest monarch in the world--and the poorest. What they discover is as amusing as it is unexpected. With beautiful illustrations by Domenico Gnoli, Alberic the Wise and Other Journeys is a book as rich in meaning as it is fun to read.
