The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom

In "The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom," Christopher Healy offers a fresh and humorous take on traditional fairy tales. The story follows the misadventures of four princes who, despite their roles as heroes in popular stories, are largely unknown and unappreciated in their own kingdoms. Prince Liam, known as "Liam the Lovestruck" for his role in winning the heart of Princess Rapunzel, is depicted as a bumbling fool who is more interested in poetry than in saving the day. Prince Frederic, meanwhile, is known as "Frederic the Fearless," but is, in fact, a coward who would rather hide than fight. Prince Gustav, called "Gustav the Gracious," is a brute who prefers to solve problems with his fists. And Prince Duncan, known as "Duncan the Destitute," is a lazy prince who would rather sleep than do anything else. When a witch's curse causes the four princes to be banished from their kingdoms, they must come together to clear their names and save the day. Along the way, they encounter familiar characters from fairy tales, including Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Snow White, but they are not quite what they seem. Healy's writing is witty and engaging, and he has a knack for turning familiar fairy tale tropes on their heads. The princes are flawed and relatable, and their journey to self-discovery and redemption is both entertaining and heartwarming. "The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom" is a delightful and entertaining read that will appeal to both children and adults. It is a refreshing take on traditional fairy tales that challenges gender stereotypes and encourages readers to look beyond the surface to find the true hero within. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves a good fairy tale with a twist.
