(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Greg Call. High-spirited milkmaid Lucy sets off into the Scratchy Mountains looking for clues to her mother's disappearance. Lucy's best friend Wynston, a timid prince, follows, but on a different path. Snyder's breezy text incorporates droll humor, though an undercurrent of sadness also flows. Call's old-fashioned black-and-white illustrations make creative use of scale to heighten drama while reinforcing the tale's once-upon-a-time nature.
