The Little Lame Prince

The Little Lame Prince

The Little Lame Prince is a touching coming-of-age story. Early on, a young prince becomes lame on the way to his christening after he is dropped by a careless nurse. Later, the death of his parents leaves him at the mercy of his cruel uncle who keeps him hidden away in an isolated tower. However, a strange turn of events brings hope and love to the lonely boy.

Note: The Little Lame Prince is a wonderful folk tale originally written in the early 1900’s. We are glad to see this title back in print! However many copies of this story also include several other stories by Dinah Craik (Mulock), which we do not recommend. To avoid confusion, our copy contains only the one story. If you choose to use a different copy we would advise omitting the remaining stories:

• The Invisible Prince
• Prince Cherry
• The Prince with the Nose
• The Frog-Prince
• Clever Alice
