Roses, jewelsand exotic birds; dancing girls, wind machines and mythical beasts - but nothing feels quite right. As the last suitor leaves, his weapons of mass destruction rejected, the king and queen are exhausted. But when a shy, young man, who isn't a suitor at all, steps forward, they finally understand what the most wonderful thing in the world really is. Vivian French's masterful retelling of a forgotten story is both funny and heart-warming, and Angela Barrett's breathtaking illustrations give life to an enchanting and romanticfairy tale city. 当国王和王后想把他们的女儿露西娅嫁给能展现世间最美好事物的男子，求婚者络绎不绝地来到宫殿献上礼物：玫瑰花，珠宝，异国鸟儿，跳舞的女孩们，风力机还有神话般的野兽，却没有一个合乎他们的心意。当最后一个求婚者带着他的大杀伤力武器离开，国王和王后已经筋疲力尽了。此时一个害羞的年轻人走到前面来，虽然他不是求婚者，却让国王和王后懂得了什么是世间最美好的事物。Vivian给大家展现了一个既有趣有暖心的故事，在Angela画笔下，这个故事有了生命，带大家进入一个浪漫的童话城市。
