Da un quartire popolare di new York alla vecchia, nobile Inghilterra, dall'affetto della mamma ai modi bruschi e severi del nonno sconosciuto: molte cose cambiano all'improvviso per Cedric. Per fortuna le risorse del bambino dai riccioli d'oro sono illimitate... Un grande classico dall'autrice de 'il giardino segreto'.
A 12-year-old boy called Marco Loristan, is sent on a secret mission by his father, a Samavian patriot, to deliver an important message across Europe. The young man is joined by his neighborhood friend, The Rat, to embark on a history making journey. In Samavian legend, there was a kind and beloved prince called Ivor who held the people's favor. Despite their adoration, he had no desire to take the throne and suddenly disappeared never to be heard from again.
