Prince Dolor is crippled as a baby and, after his parents die, his ambitious uncle hides him away in a solitary tower in the middle of a barren plain. His fairy godmother brings him a magic travelling cloak, and on it the boy flies out over forests, cities and crowds, seeing the world and learning what it means to rule.
