In this comic fairy tale about a not-so classic hero, Prince Zucchini is born under an evil sorcerer's curse: he is given a nose the size and shape of a big zucchini.
Out of fatherly concern, the king turns the tables on the evil sorcerer by convincing the prince that small noses are ugly and big noses are all the rage. When the prince falls in love with a princess with a small nose, the adventure begins.
Folklorist and children's author Neil Philip spins Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's original tale of vanity into a funhouse romp for the young reader.
