By Emma Lewis
Two rivals vie for a kingdom, but the people's desires remain unheard.
In a kingdom without a king, a Duke and an Earl clash in a relentless struggle for power. Their rivalry, fueled by vanity and greed, threatens the very fabric of the realm. As their battle rages, the voices of the people are drowned out. What do they truly desire, and will anyone heed their call? This tale, woven with the rich tapestry of ambition and consequence, challenges the notion of leadership and the cost of ignoring those who matter most.
When the old king dies, a Duke and Earl find themselves in competition for the Kingdom. Their vanity and greed see them locked in a futile battle, which impacts the lives of the people who live in the Kingdom. But what do the people want? And will anyone listen? In this moralistic tale about the dangers of vanity and power-hungry leaders, Emma Lewis’s distinctive collage style–inspired by the famous Bayeux Tapestry–lends a unique approach to a contemporary folktale.
