Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Prince Vance: The Story of a Prince with a Court in His Box" by Eleanor Putnam and Arlo Bates is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the whimsical adventures of Prince Vance, a mischievous young prince who becomes embroiled in magical mishaps primarily due to his troublesome relationship with his fairy godmother, Copetta. As Vance grapples with the consequences of his actions and the various magical beings he encounters, he learns valuable lessons about responsibility and kindness. The opening of the story introduces Prince Vance at a moment of frustration as he has just engaged in a slightly rebellious altercation with his tutor. When his fairy godmother arrives unexpectedly, she scolds him for his bad behavior and threatens him with dire consequences. After an encounter with the Blue Wizard, Vance receives a box of magical bonbons that lead to the unexpected shrinking of his tutor and eventually the whole royal court into a tiny size. The prince, initially enjoying the chaos he has created, later realizes he must find a way to restore his family and face the implications of his reckless wish for magic and mischief. As he embarks on a quest to solve his predicament, readers are drawn into a fantastical world filled with curious characters and unpredictable adventures.
