The King of Capri

32 pp. | Bloomsbury | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 1-58234-830-8 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Ray. A storm blows all the possessions of a greedy, gluttonous king over the water and into the backyard of the poor and hard-working washerwoman Mrs. Jewel. This reversal-of-fortune tale ends with the newly humbled king marrying the generous Mrs. Jewel, and everyone lives happily ever after. Crisp, elegant prose and inventive, lively illustrations elevate a humdrum plot.
Reviewer: Kristin Cashore
