Project Gutenberg 2008-05-14 Public domain in the USA. 180 Reinick, Robert 1805 1852 Oer, T. von The King of Root Valley and his curious daughter Produced by Jason Isbell, Suzan Flanagan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The King of Root Valley" by Robert Reinick is a fairy tale written in the mid-19th century. The story introduces readers to the whimsical world of the Rootmen, tiny beings living in a secluded valley, and follows the journey of their curious princess as she yearns to learn about the outside world inhabited by humans. The narrative explores themes of curiosity, pride, and the quest for identity through engaging adventures and encounters with various fantastical characters. The tale begins with the Rootmen celebrating seasonal festivals and sharing stories from passing birds, which piques the princess's curiosity about the world beyond her valley. When she is finally permitted to see humans, her adventure leads her to meet Prince Nutcracker, who, along with his puppet subjects, becomes entwined with the fate of Root Valley. However, as pride and haughtiness ensue from their newfound relationship, tensions escalate between the two peoples, culminating in a war that ultimately leads to the downfall of Prince Nutcracker and his kingdom. In the end, a reconciliatory return to her roots enables the princess to recognize her true identity and the value of her humble origins, leading to the emigration of the Rootmen to safety.
