Bright-Wits, Prince of Mogadore

A charmingly retro adventure from the early 20th century, this is the story of Prince Bright-Wits of Mogadore, whose sharp mind is both his greatest weapon and his most endearing quality. Arriving in the kingdom of Parrabang to win the hand of Princess Azalia, he discovers that winning a royal heart requires proving oneself through cunning rather than combat. The villainous vizier Garrofat and his scheming brother Doola have constructed a series of devilish puzzles designed to humiliate and destroy the young prince tasks involving rearranged rugs and misconnected fountains that seem impossible to solve. But Bright-Wits lives up to his name, outwitting each challenge while gradually uncovering the web of treachery that has surrounded the throne all along. It's a cozy, gentle fairy tale where brains triumph over brute force and the clever hero earns his destined place beside his princess.
