Thrice upon a Marigold

(4) 4-6 In this third installment, King Christian and Queen Marigold's new baby is kidnapped by the kingdom's former poisoner-in-chief and former torturer-in-chief. The two villains' adult children, librarian Phoebe and tinkerer Sebastian, recover the baby and fall in love with each other in the process. Saccharine romance and overly earnest life lessons don't detract too much from the creative fairy-tale plot and humorous dialogue.
