Castles of Rosemont
The three words had been executed in primeval iron gall ink through the assistance of a quill pen sacrificed by a very uncooperative pheasant. The trio of verbiage was written on a petite section of aged and foxed vellum.

Rosentr瓣nen
Worauf lasst ihr euch ein? Das, liebe Leser, ist eine gute Frage, die ich versuchen werde, mit wenigen Worten zu beantworten. Wenige Worte. Ich. Das ist ein guter Witz. Aber ich probiere es mal. Da w瓣re Apel, ein Raubritter der allerschlechtesten G羹te, der eine Gemahlin sucht. Und dann haben wir Yolande, die lieber nicht mit ihm verheiratet w瓣re, weil sie lieber einen anderen zum Manne n瓣hme. Irgendwie taucht ein Drache auf und wunderbare Rosen ebenso. Aber Halt! Immer der Reihe nach. F羹r das B羹chlein "Rosentr瓣nen" habe ich mir einige Orte und Personen ausgeliehen. Da ist ein zauberhafter Rosengarten, der wahrhaft unterhalb der Burg des Apel gelegen ist. Dessen Burg ist eine der drei Gleichen mitten im Th羹ringischen. Auch die kann man gut besuchen. Und eben Apel. Den nannte man vor ewigen Zeiten sogar den "Teufel und Brandmeister von Th羹ringen". Und das will schon was hei?en. Jedenfalls findet Yolande es nicht toll, pl繹tzlich von einem Raubritter entf羹hrt und in einen Turm gesteckt zu werden. Sie h瓣tte lieber ein m瓣rchenhaftes Ende der Geschichte, n瓣mlich "Und so lebten sie gl羹cklich und zufrieden bis ans Ende ihrer Tage". Ob es wohl eine Chance darauf geben kann? Und was ist das f羹r ein Unsinn mit einem Drachen? Lest selber oder lasst es euch vorlesen. Dann werdet ihr erfahren, was passiert. Versprochen.

Finally, a young man arrives who doesn't mind her so-called affliction. In fact, he wants to marry her. The king declares it will be so, but only if the young man can make his daughter talk. The daring lad comes up with a plan. A kiss! A kiss will cure the lady and restore her voice. It must, for that is how fairytales go, is it not? Except, this is not an everyday fairytale and not even kisses will do the trick. It is only when the king condemns the young man to death that the princess is moved to speak. She cries out to save the man who has captured her heart. The silent princess ultimately uses the power of her voice to save the day...and the man she loves. Told in rhyme with engaging illustrations, this story can be read aloud to children of all ages or enjoyed by any child who loves a whimsical take on the traditional fairytale.
