Publisher's Synopsis
There was a king who loved books. The king was so old that he could hardly see. So he took two men into his palace and said to them: "I love books, and I have read countless books. I have read almost all the books in the world. But my eyesight is getting worse and worse, and I can no longer read. But I still love books, so I want to hear stories about books. You go around the world. Find out who knows about all the strange books. Ask them what kind of strange book it is. When you come back, tell me the story of the book."
