About the book
'Prince Prigio' is a literary and comic fairy tale written by Andrew Lang and illustrated by Gordon Browne. The plot of Prince Prigio begins with the introduction of a queen who does not believe in fairies. After many childless years, she and the king finally had a boy, Prigio. When the queen refused to invite the fairies to the christening, none of the nobles would attend, and so the king and queen were alone when the fairies arrived and presented the child with gifts. Among the gifts were a never-empty purse (Fortunatus' purse), seven-league boots, a cap of darkness which would make him invisible, a wishing cap, a magic carpet, and also beauty, courage, and luck. That was not all though, for the last fairy decreed, «My child, you shall be too clever!»
