Oh what fun! Okay, Lady Lamorna wants a new dress (who doesn't), but hers is going to be special with skulls and webs and ivy. She is putting her order in to the Ancient Crones, but when she goes to the treasure box, all of her money is gone. She hatches a plan to refill her coffers. She'll turn all the local princes into frogs'. Across town the lovely Gracie Gillypot finds herself trapped in the cellar yet again. It's a bit like Cinderella with the awful stepfather and stepsister. Now, into this mire we add the spice of Gubble, a troll-like fellow, who works for Lady Lamorna, and the fabulous Prince Marcus, who is determined to explore his kingdom. Let the story begin.
