"The Little Lame Prince" by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik is a children's story published in 1875. Prince Dolor, paralyzed from a childhood accident, is secretly exiled to an isolated tower in a desolate wasteland. As he grows, a fairy godmother gives him a magical traveling cloak that allows him to see the world beyond his prison—though never to touch it. Through his adventures, the prince develops wisdom and empathy that will shape his destiny and his kingdom's future. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
