The Prince Who Lost His Pants

Más información sobre el libro

The Prince Who Lost His Pants is a comic, urban fairytale that is funny on the surface but which deals with important themes such as gossip culture and how this can get out of control and cause harm to innocent people if targets of defamation are not given a right to reply and to seek their rights. Given that it is a book for children, the topic is dealt with in a light hearted way. The book has a great deal of allegory and symbolism for the more discerning reader under the surface layer of comedy. It looks at corruption, crime and the need for integrity and good leadership to protect people from injustice and abuse. All of this is done is a light hearted way given that it is a book aimed at children, albeit older children. Given the nature of the themes in the book, it may also appeal to some adults.
