Another Sommer-Time Story: The Great Royal Race
"In The Great Royal Race, Carl Sommers masterfully displays timeless virtues in the ageless setting of the choosing of a husband for the king's daughter.  Through surprises during the great race, the three fine suitors, Simon, Thomas, and John, unwittingly display their true feelings for the princess Elizabeth.  The one choosing love rather than money or fame also becomes a wise and great king.  Bright, action-filled illustrations on each page enhance the story as the race progresses and suspense builds to the finish line.
