King Wretched is desperate - the Royal Treasure has been stolen! There were 99 knights, a monster and even an impossible labyrinth guarding it... but it was useless! There’s one gold coin missing!
King Wretched immediately decides to punish the bad guards - off with their heads! (Unless the labirynth, which sadly doesn’t have a head to cut.)
But what now? The rest of the Royal Treasure is unguarded! Then the King decides that there wil not be a better guard than himself. Little does he know the thief he is about to encounter...
“Basque illustrator Iban Barrenetxea proves once again that, apart from a great artist, he is one of the best contemporary storytellers of Spanish children’s literature. (...) With big doses of humour that take you to burst out laughing more than once, the author offers (...) a story and a range of characters made to leave a mark on the readers.” El País
