Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Great Red Frog" by Sidney Ransom is a children's story written in the early 20th century. This delightful tale follows the adventures of a young King who is transformed into a frog due to a misunderstanding and the envy of a Chamberlain’s son. The book captures themes of identity, bravery, and the importance of true leadership in a whimsical and enchanting narrative. The story begins with a little Prince who, after being pushed into a magic bush, is turned into a Great Red Frog, allowing the Chamberlain’s son to impersonate him. As the false king's wickedness grows, the real King, in frog form, is sought after by a young Dwarf named Omolo, who embarks on a quest to rescue the kidnapped Princess. With the help of a wise Owl and a Magic Sword, Omolo confronts the King of the Frogs, who, upon being wounded, transforms back into the rightful King. The narrative culminates in a jubilant restoration of order, as the King marries the Princess and punishes those who wronged him, leaving a message of satisfaction and happiness for readers.
