"The Little Lame Prince and His Travelling Cloak" by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik is a children's story published in 1875. Prince Dolor, paralyzed from a childhood accident, is secretly exiled to a lonely tower in a desolate wasteland. There, his fairy godmother gifts him a magical traveling cloak that allows him to soar above the world and witness its wonders—though never to touch them. Through these airborne adventures, the isolated prince discovers imagination, develops profound empathy, and learns wisdom that will shape his destiny. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
