Synopsis: | Many Moons tells the story of Princess Lenore who is ill from eating too many raspberry tarts. She believes that possessing the moon is the only thing that will cure her, so the King issues a command to the most learned and high-ranking members of his royal court to find a way to bring the moon to the princess. When none of them is clever enough to devise a way to deliver the moon, the King thinks all is lost until his crafty court jester sparks a bit of hope-with classic Thurber wit. | |||||
