This is a clever and funny story that relies on the readers' knowledge of fairy tales, which the author mocks. The three little pigs appear in the tale as three building contractors who prefer building houses made from bricks and a goose that lays golden eggs so that the king of the kingdom does not need to tax his subjects. The hero is a twenty-eight year old private detective who likes charming princes. She is hired by King Thrugood to find his son, a charming prince. The king thinks that a dragon has kidnapped his son. The private detective thinks he means a gang of thugs called the dragons, until she comes face to face with the fire spitting kind.
