Description

The King of Fools

A Fool must save his kingdom from a tyrant with a dolt for a jester in this hilaric tale of majestic, motley mockery.

I'm off to make a fool of a fool, and a fool of a king as well.
Only a fool can fool a fool, but, with a kings wits, who can tell!
I'm off to make a fool of a fool, and a fool of a kingdom too.
I might lose my head by the kings-man's ax, but I'll try to fool him too!"
-The King of Fools

    I enjoyed the writing style and the plot! Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because I found some of the humor inappropriate.
  • Well done
