One year later, Ed, his foster father, tells him he needs to discover the world and move out.

The theme of this book is that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. The first example is when Chris becomes friends with Marigold even though she was poor and she was a princess. The second example is when Marigold protested against all the suitors to marry because she only wanted a real marriage You can do anything is the theme for this book.
I really like this book because it is how the people "back then" used to live. They send p-mail and live in a cave. They also talk funny and have servants I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fairy tales. This book takes you back to the old days and that's why I like it.
