Publisher's Synopsis
Maximilian is a prince who loves to talk: No topic is too small, no story too boring. Max's brothers are the opposite-the less said the better. When the king and queen go on a trip and leave the brothers alone, the three princes put a spell on Max that limits him to speaking only nine words at a time. The brothers are delighted: peace and quiet at last! But when a fearsome dignitary arrives, they realise the true value of their brother's insatiable need for information. This book is a funny, quirky and madcap tale with fantastic illustrations for both adults and kids.
