Many are familiar with the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Fewer know that the season of Christmas actually runs from December 25th until January 6th. "The Spell of Twelve" is a tale that tells of the adventure of Prince Egbert XII who disappears from the castle on Christmas night. His quest is to solve the riddle of an orange before Twelfth Night and his twelfth birthday. Along the way, he avoids dangers and forges an alliance with a miller, a sparrow, and girl named Egnaro. Told in the traditional once-upon-a-time manner, this simple story is a journey of discovery. In the end, Egbert saves his father's kingdom and makes a name for himself. Throughout the book, black and white llustrations help younger children visualize the story, and young readers will be surprised by the twists and turns of the fantasy.
