DESCRIPTION
Princes and princesses are always finding that the path of true love totally fails to run smoothly. But when the path winds round and round a grandly constructed garden maze, the difficulties create a pretty pass indeed. The Marvelous Maze is a richly romantic tale, unraveling the story of young Prince Eric, who has been lonely so long that he quite likes the counsel of his chief advisor to take a wife. Yet, how to choose? Clever, cool and arrogant to a fault is our young prince. And so he devises a scheme to select a princess as clever as himself. Hence his order to his head gardener, Burdock, to construct an enchanting maze: one that is richly embellished with garden ornaments, shrubbery and an abundance of flowers. It is also intricate; so intricate that forty-three princesses try their best and forty-three fail. But after the prince has given up all hope, there arrives a plump, plain princess named Gladwin. And the prince begins to learn the secret beauties not only of his own maze but of two hearts as well.
