This is a hero story, the story of how an unlikely youth became heir to the throne of an equally unlikely kingdom. He has the aid of some human and some non-human friends (but none of them inhumane). It all started with a gloomy princess who had never laughed at anything in her life. Not only that, she made everyone around her gloomy. It was her only joy. But Throckmorton Quattlebottom accidentally makes the Gloomy Princess laugh. And there Throckmorton hangs by the tail.
