Publisher's Note
Disguised as a commoner, Prince Marlon, the heir to the throne of Mentoria, travels the countryside in search of what is true and meaningful in life. When he discovers happiness in the person of Nicole, the beautiful and wise daughter of a generous farmer, Marlon must decide whether to continue his simple life--or resume his responsibilities as prince.
Prince Marlon, the heir to the throne of Mentoria, decides sadly that he must leave his kingdom. He is disgusted by the terrible waste and senselessness of the battle he has just fought, and wonders if his father has become as greedy and heartless as the king's closest advisor, the devious high priest Mordal. Dressed as a commoner, with few possessions, Marlon travels the countryside in search of what is true and meaningful in life. He discovers happiness working the land with a generous farmer--and with Nicole, the farmer's wise and beautiful daughter. But Marlon is soon faced with a difficult choice: to continue his simple, blissful country life, or to assume his role as prince again, defend Mentoria from attacking armies, and save it from the corruption within.

Industry reviews
Pop singer Bolton tries his hand at storytelling in this loquacious, flowery picture book about regal honor and justice. A modern-day field trip to an ancient castle takes a magical turn when students Michael and Jennifer split from their class and receive a private tour from the mysterious "keeper of the castle." He tells the children of the castle's early inhabitant, Prince Marlon, a heroic and kindhearted royal who fought for the rights of his subjects and married a simple farm girl. Bolton's tale contains a cast of intriguing characters including a believable villain and the kinds of ironic plot twists readers have come to expect from stories of chivalry. Beginning readers may have trouble deciphering lengthy sentences and challenging names, but the book has a pleasant bedtime story tone that makes it a good bet for family read-alouds. In his picture book debut, Jermann applies his brushstrokes to detailed oil paintings with an unusual palette. Many of the portraits are rendered with a combination of colors that have a dusty, antique look, evoking the story's era. Less effective are paintings overpowered by syrupy reds, greens or pinks. Full-page dramatic scenes of battles on horseback oppose text pages framed in intricate borders. Though fans of chivalry will find nothing new here, Bolton contributes a capable addition to the genre. A 5" x 9" glossy of Bolton decorates the back of the jacket. All ages. (Oct.)
