Another 1001 Children's Book to Read Before I Grow Up read. Another to cross off my list.
This one is action and adventure and mistaken identities and kings and beautiful princesses and castles. The ending was a little too open-ended (had to leave things open for a sequel, I suppose) for my liking, but, overall, a good read.
