Once upon a time storybooks descended from father to son and were highly esteemed. There were kings, princesses, fairies and dragons in them - the stories took place simultaneously in the earthly and heavenly world. This book is based on these traditions and became one of the finest Hungarian storybooks of the past decades: an enchanted, peculiar journey into the empire of imagination.
Those who put the sky-revolving magic ring on their finger find themselves in the very middle of the tales; they may meet the dragon?s truthful daughter, lazy goblins, charmless wizard, double-faced king, sky-high mountains and powerful tests, which may not even exist in the outer world, but in the depths of our own hearts.
Because all of us have something from the dragon, fairy queen and the brave prince in us, we have just to step over the border of reality and believe that we are headed in the very best direction.
