Here is a Thurber world of enchanted deer and seven-headed dragons, of wizards and witches, of riddles and spells, of false love and true. It is the story of King Clode and his three sons, Thag, Gallow, and Jorn, and of a beautiful princess, transformed from a deer, who assigns each of the princes a perilous labor to perform. The victor, of course, is to win her hand.
