DESCRIPTION:

A moral tale: honesty and courage are two of the most important qualities for a leader. Old King Karnak is worried. He hasn't long to live, and there is no heir to the throne. So he holds a rather unusual competition to find one. Knights and nobles flock to the palace and the King gives each of them a tiny seed to grow. Jack the farmer's son is given a seed too, so he plants it, waters it and waits for it to sprout… “Master storyteller Eric Maddern brings the intriguing charm to this story which has made earlier collaborations with Paul Hess such rewarding experiences.” Books for Keeps “The illustrations are fabulous-full of color, imagination, and humor. An appealing story.” School Library Journal •Adapted from a Chinese Mandarin folk story known as 'The Seed' and told all over Europe
