Label TextIn this story, a young baron leaves his ancestral castle and seeks his own fortune. On the road, he travels with an old woman and her granddaughter. After accepting hospitality at the School for Men (run by boys), they resume their journey to the town of Zisk, home of a band of Robin Hoood-like adventurers the baron wants to join. After further encounters with a goblin, a giant, and an abandonned baby, and other magical exploits, all ends well and the baron finds a beautiful bride.
