The Adventures of the King's Son:
A Dramatic Comic Story Based on a Mashal of the Holy Baal Shem Tov

Somewhere on the other side of the ocean and the mountains, there dwelt a mighty kingdom, whose king was admired by all. The king had only one son, but the boy was skilled and wise, kind-hearted, strong, and handsome. One day, the king decided to send his son to the outside world, so he could grow into a man fit to one day rule the kingdom. But the king’s innocent son was soon embroiled in hardship and danger far beyond what his father intended. The young prince slowly began to forget his father, his home, even his native tongue, and nobody was there to remind him of them. He eventually became nothing but a primitive tribesman. Until something happened to wake him up…

This story, based on a parable from the holy Baal Shem Tov, comes to life with immersive plotting, smooth writing, and spectacular imagery. The young reader is promised many hours of enchanting discovery. Join the prince as he returns to the palace, to his father – and to his home.
