The Uncrowned King
Produced by Kevin Handy, John Hagerson, and PG Distributed Proofreaders
"The Uncrowned King" by Harold Bell Wright is a novel written in the early 20th century. This philosophical tale reflects on the concept of true kingship, identity, and the significance of inner truth versus outward appearances. Through allegorical storytelling, the book explores themes of personal sacrifice and the nature of leadership, suggesting that true authority lies not in titles or crowns but in one’s character and choices. The narrative follows twin brothers, Really-Is and Seemsto-Be, in the Royal City of Daybyday. As they embark on a journey to the City Sometime in the Land of Yettocome, they grapple with their identities as potential rulers. The story unfolds as Seemsto-Be rushes to claim the throne for himself, driven by ambition, while Really-Is, the rightful heir, learns from Wisdom about the nature of true kingship. Ultimately, the tale contrasts the shallow pursuits symbolized by Seemsto-Be against the deeper understanding and humility of Really-Is, revealing profound insights about faith, authenticity, and the essence of leadership as Really-Is embraces his role as the 'Uncrowned King' who leads with understanding and compassion, free from the trappings of power.
