Review:   This delightfully droll fairy tale features a feisty
milkmaid named Lucy and her best friend, Prince Wynston. Wynston
has been forced to swap berry-picking adventures with Lucy for
lessons in the rules and rituals of courtship, as his father
insists that he must find a proper princess to be his future
Queen. Dejected and lonely, Lucy decides to embark on a journey
up the Scratchy Mountains in search of her mother, who
disappeared when Lucy was a baby. In an uncharacteristic act of
rebellion, Wynston abandons his lessons and follows Lucy to the
hilltop town of Torrent, a town so obsessed with rules and
regularity that even the rain must come and go on schedule. On
their grand adventure Lucy and Wynston learn the answers to
Lucy’s questions about her mother and lots more, including the
surprising facts that sometimes a prince in need of a future
queen need look no further than his own best friend and that,
while rules are very important
