✦ Synopsis

"You are about to become a very wealthy buffoon"

Ardennia is a Cinderella story like no other that captures the magic, brutality and earthiness of the medieval age. It chronicles the many adventures of Cinderella's prince as he undergoes his baptism of fire in the Battle of Paris, is charmed by Cinderella at a masquerade ball, and sets off on a quest to find her after she flees the ball at the midnight hour. The quest takes him through strange lands supposedly inhabited by ogres, pixies, hobgoblins, man eating plants and giants, and peopled by extraordinary characters that include an epileptic bard, a bean counter who wagers his gold tooth in a dice game, a merchant who can never be too prosperous, a little girl who has a running feud with three bears, pilgrims that argue over who is the most pious and a beggar who has been cursed with leprosy for committing all the cardinal sins. Be on the look-out for a bit of Chaucer-like satire in this adapted fairy tale.

Five Reasons to read Ardennia:

The ironic ending
The love affair between Cinderella's stepmother and the hunchback
Sir Guy's story of the elf and the troll
Queen Bernadette's sagacity
Prince Henry's tete-a-tetes with the 14 ladies who attended the ball
