Ambushed by Princess Esmeralda, Trundle the Lamplighter finds himself drawn into a whirlwind of adventure. Esmeralda is convinced that Trundle must help fulfill an ancient prophecy, so off the two hedgehogs go, fighting pirates, rescuing slaves, and stowing away on ships that sail through space. The action is jam-packed, but the the story's logic doesn't always keep up.
