Synopsis (taken from front flap)
There once lived a King with a very bad temper. He complained about everything and called everyone names, but as he was the King no-one could object - until he offended a powerful enchanter and learned just how dangerous calling names can be.
Errol Le Cain drew on mediaeval art for the brilliant and haunting illustrations of his first picture book, King Arthur's Sword. In The Cabbage Princess he brings the same remarkable technical skill, lively invention and loving care for detail to the creation of a sunnier eighteenth-century world, where exquisitely formal costumes and settings make a piquant contrast with the very odd experiences of the characters who fall under the enchanter's spell.
