Riassunto

Wrinkled Crinkled Grapes takes the reader to a land where monsters roam and sorcerers scheme. It is a tale of a charming young man who longs to leave his life of hardship on a small farm for a life of comfort in the royal court. When the king proclaims that any man may try for the hand of his daughter by attempting two challenges, the young man takes the opportunity. The first challenge is to get special grapes from an orchard guarded by a horrible purple monster. To insure success, the young man seeks the aid of an old sorcerer, but in doing so makes a promise that he cannot keep. The second challenge is one of wit and less of bravery. The young man must find a way to cook the special grapes in the king's beloved bread. He is stumped as his charms cannot help him, but luckily he stumbles upon a solution. You will learn of the young man's adventures and the lesson he learns. He strives for riches, but discovers true happiness comes from other means.
