'Princes in the Land' is about a woman bringing up a family who is left at the end, when the children are on the verge of adulthood, asking herself not only what it was all for but what was her own life for? Yet the questions are asked subtly and readably.

In the magical kingdom of Evergreen, beautiful Princess Elena is suddenly whisked away by an old woman. Undefeated champion Gallant and shy bookworm Earnest go on a quest to find “the greatest treasure in the land” so one of them can save and marry the princess. Along the way, Earnest and Gallant realize “the greatest treasure in the land” is not what they expected. This is a 28-page, full-color, illustrated children's adventure picture book with a same-sex marriage.

Excerpt from From the Land of Princes Miss Gabrielle Festing was happily inspired in determining to dare and do for the stirring national traditions and dynastic chronicles of Rajasthan, "the land of Kings," the Hellas of India, what Charles Kingsley and the Rev.

When the Raja and all his train reached the spot, there were the nobles of Mewar, and at their head was Umra, Pertap's eldest son; the Rana himself was nowhere to be seen. A feast was made ready, and Umra courteously begged Maun Singh and his followers to sit and eat; he would be their host, he said, since the Rana was suffering from violent headache, and could not appear to welcome his guests. Every one present knew as well as Umra that the true reason was that Pertap would not break bread with one who had allied himself with Delhi. "Tell the Rana I can guess the cause of his headache," retorted Maun Singh, " but no man can take his place. If he will not be my host, who will?" Pertap's answer to this message was clear and plain.

"No food from your hand will I take," he cried, "save the grains of rice which must be offered to the gods. It was to save your honour that we sacrificed our own, and gave our sisters and our daughters to the Toork; abide in peril if you will; this country shall not hold you long."
