by Miss Mulock (Author)

1875. Miss Mulock (pseudonym of Dinah Maria Mulock Craik) tells the children's story about a healthy baby prince who is dropped by a careless nurse enroute to his christening; when both his parents die, he is at the mercy of his ambitious uncle who has him secreted away to a lonely tower on a barren plain. The young crippled prince must then reclaim his kingdom from his evil uncle, with the help of a magic cape from his godmother.
