About this book
Prince Ricardo of Pantouflia being the adventures of Prince Prigio's son by Andrew Lang whisks listeners into a whimsical Victorian fairy tale where royal duty, mischievous magic, and the stubbornness of youth collide. A charming sequel to the tale of Prince Prigio, this children's fiction follows young Ricardo—uninterested in books and far from his father's cleverness—into a string of fantastical adventures that test his character and curiosity without giving away their surprises.
Andrew Lang's signature blend of gentle satire and old-fashioned wonder fills the narrative: expect talking creatures, enchanted trinkets, and the moral tug between pride and kindness. The story explores themes of education, parenthood, and the unexpected ways courage and common sense can outshine pedigree, all told in the warm, ornate style that made late-19th-century fairy tales enduring favorites.
Ideal for families, lovers of classic fairy tales, and fans of Andrew Lang's Victorian-era storytelling, this audiobook is perfect for bedtime listening, nostalgic commutes, or introducing young readers to a timeless world of magic and manners.
