This anthology issue contains multiple fairy tale adaptations. "Philip and Penelope" tells of a shepherd boy who learns a mysterious melody and uses it to win the heart of a lost princess; ten years later, when Philip becomes king, he is reunited with Penelope, and they rule together happily ever after. A second story follows Princess Charlotte, who discovers that an evil woman has impersonated her mother and conspired with the Prime Minister to seize the kingdom; when King John unexpectedly returns with a handsome Prince from a neighboring realm, the conspirators are exposed and banished, allowing Charlotte to be reunited with her parents and eventually marry the Prince.
