Blending the charm of Shrek and the adventure of the Princess bride with the daring swordplay of Zorro. The Lord of Laughter, the Monarch of Mirth--if only the bumbling 17-year-old Sebastian Darke could be a successful jester like his father. The problem is Sebastian's not funny. But after his father's death, with no choice but to beg in the streets, the half-human, half-elf teen sets off with Max, his father's slightly cynical Buffalope, to offer his services as a jester to King Septimus of Keladon. On the way they meet Captain Cornelius Drummel, small in stature, but the fiercest of fighters. The three rescue the fair princess Kerin, who's being held captive by brigands, and happily escort her home. If only Sebastian knew the kidnapping was engineered by the evil King Septimus!.… (altro)
Aunque a Sebastian Darke no le sale bien ningún chiste, él quiere ganarse la vida como bufón, igual que hizo su padre, y se dirige a la Corte para conseguirlo. Por el camino irá sumando amigos a su expedición: Max, el melenudo e irónico bufalope que habla sin parar, y Cornelius, un soldado enano pero con la fuerza y la valentía de tres ejércitos juntos. A lo largo de su viaje conocerán a la princesa, con la que se enfrentarán a numerosos peligros mientras se preparan para el mayor reto de todos: hacer reír al rey. Una historia ágil, divertida y moderna que enganchará a los jóvenes lectores desde la primera línea. Lectura recomendada a partir de 12 años.
I randomly picked up this book and ended up enjoying it more than I expected. Fun and bordering on ridiculous at times. I'd read more from this series. ( )

(from dust jacket) "Don't tell the princess any of your own jokes," said Max. "If you absolutely must tell one, stick to your father's material. It's safer." "And keep a civil tongue in your head," Cornelius reminded him. "We need to stay in her good books." "Yes, all right, all right! Honestly, you two act as though I don't know how to talk to people. I am a jester, don't forget, I have the gift of gab!" Max and Cornelius exchanged worried glances. "We're doomed."
