What can you do, when nothing can be done? What was once a glorious, thriving kingdom is now a place of despair and dereliction. An aged king and queen cling to the ghosts of memories, to the remnants of their court. Until the young prince and his sister decide they must restore and revive their home as best they can. For more than a century, A Tale Without a Name has been one of Greece's best-loved stories, combining the timeless rhythms of a fairy tale with a satirical account of a state fallen into chaos. This playful, wise fable is enchanting for readers of any age, as meaningful and moving now as when it was first written.
