NY: Grosset & Dunlap, 1948 Publisher's full printed cloth boards, illustrated endpapers. 8vo. 292 pp. Illustrated in color by Lucille Corcos. This is an unmarked copy with only modest shelf-wear. NEAR FINE. A volume in the Illustrated Junior Library. Of all the fairy tales ever writeen, one of the most delightful is the story of the little lame prince who was banished by a wicked uncle and sent to live in a solitary tower on a barren plain. There little Prince Dolor led a lonely life with only his books and toys to keep him company -- until one day his fairy godmother appeared, bringing him a miraculous traveling cloak. The Little Lame Prince and his Travelling Cloak (often published under its shorter title The Little Lame Prince) is a story for children written by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik and first published in 1875. In the story, a young prince whose legs are paralysed due to a childhood trauma is given a magical travelling cloak by his fairy godmother; he uses this cloak to go on various adventures, and develops great wisdom and empathy in the process. Although ostensibly written as a story for her daughter, Craik suggests that The Little Lame Prince is a parable, with a deeper meaning than that of other fairy tales: "If any reader, big or little, should wonder whether there is a meaning in this story deeper than that of an ordinary fairy tale, I will own that there is. But I have hidden it so carefully that the smaller people, and many larger folk, will never find it out, and meantime the book may be read straight on, like 'Cinderella,' or 'Blue-Beard,' or 'Hop-o'my-Thumb,' for what interest it has, or what amusement it may bring." Among the most charming of the author's other stories are the Adventures of a Brownie. Though full of tricks and mischief, the Brownie never does anyone any harm, and his endlessly entertaining antics have delighted generations of children. . 1st Edition Thus. Hard Cover.
