Description: "A funny, pacy story about a sweet but dense prince on a quest to find a princess, and the adventures he has along the way that prove he is not so dumb when it really matters. The Queen is sending her son, Prince Victor, on a quest to find a smart and sensible princess for him to marry. Armed with a variety of potions, Victor and his horse, Quince, bravely enter the Dark Forest of Nevermore to begin their journey. Along the way, Victor meets some very large and ferocious orange bats and a convocation of eagles who help him to lift a witch's curse, overcome the Dolorous Mist of Tranby, and rescue a princess from a monstrous plague of chickens. But when Victor takes his princess back to the castle to meet his mother, the Queen is shocked to find that Victor has failed in his quest as his princess isn't a real princess! Victor's unusual logic wins out in the end though - she will be one, once he marries her! It turns out that Victor is smart when it counts. A funny clever fantasy story for junior readers."--Provided by publisher.
