“The Return of King Lillian is a highly engaging work of fantasy and mythical fiction . . . a whimsical and philosophical fairy tale for the modern age.”
~ K.C. FINN, READERS’ FAVORITE AWARDS
Written and narrated by multi-media artist Suzie Plakson, The Return of King Lillian is a new hero’s journey, an allegorical saga full of comedy, calamity, and a host of unforgettable characters.
When Lillian, the one-and-only heir to the throne, is cast out of her kingdom by malevolent forces, she accidentally wanders into the Forest of Forgetfullness, where she is rescued by wolves and raised by an eccentric old wise woman. When she comes of age, Lillian is called by Destiny to return Home. The trouble is, when she steps out of the Forest, she has no memory of who she is or from whence she hails. Undaunted, the spirited, self-reliant young woman sets off into the unknown, determined to rediscover her long lost self and to reclaim her stolen birthright. Most of the tale is told by Lillian herself as she chronicles her extraordinary adventures.
Early readers and listeners have compared this unconventional fairy tale to such novels as The Last Unicorn, The Alchemist, The Princess Bride, and The Once and Future King. This genre-bending story celebrates the divinity of nature, the wisdom of animals, and the enduring power of art, truth, and freedom.
