"Princo Vanc'" by Eleanor Putnam and Arlo Bates is a fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the misadventures of Prince Vance, the only son of his royal parents, who grapples with the demands placed on him by his fairy godmother, the powerful fairy Kopeto. As Vance struggles with his obedience and the pressures of his title, he encounters magical beings and aspects of a whimsical yet chaotic world that challenge his understanding of duty and freedom. The opening of "Princo Vanc'" introduces readers to a petulant Prince Vance who is frustrated by the demanding education enforced by his fairy godmother. In a fit of rebellion, he ignites mischief in the palace, particularly by using magic sweets given by the arrival of a Blue Sorcerer, leading to the humorous transformation of his instructors and eventual chaos across the kingdom. As he recklessly indulges in various magical antics, he faces the consequences of his actions, setting the stage for a larger journey filled with whimsical characters and unforeseen adventures as he seeks to reclaim order from the magical disorder he has unwittingly created.
