This version of the book is done as a Dramatic Reading with various
people speaking each characters part. When the King of Barodia
receives a pair of seven-league boots as a birthday present, his
habit of flying over the King of Euralia's castle during breakfast
provokes a series of incidents which escalate into war. While the
King of Euralia is away, his daughter Hyacinth tries to rule in his
stead and counter the machiavellian ambitions of the king's
favourite, the Countess Belvane. Ostensibly a typical fairytale, it
tells the story of the war between the kingdoms of Euralia and
Barodia and the political shenanigans which take place in Euralia
in the king's absence. The book introduces us to a princess who is
far from helpless; a prince who, whilst handsome, is also pompous
and vain; an enchantment which is almost entirely humorous; a
villain who is not entirely villainous and receives no real
comeuppance; a good king who isn't always good; an evil king who
isn't always evil, and so on. The result is a book which children
may not enjoy as much as adults. The book was written by Milne
partly for his wife, upon whom the character of the Countess
Belvane was partially based. (Summary from Wikipedia)
