The King of the Copper Mountains

Paul Biegel, Sally J. Collins (illustrator), translated by Gillian Hume

After a long reign, King Mansolain’s heart is slowing down. While the doctor races to a distant mountain to get a cure, a regular dose of stories is the only thing that can keep the king’s heart ticking. Animals big and small arrive from all over the kingdom to tell their tales at the castle in the copper mountains. This is a new English edition of the prize-winning Dutch classic, illustrated in black and white. Ages 7-11
