Fflewddur Fflam is a brave king with a very cheerful spirit, but his greatest dream has nothing to do with ruling a country. More than anything, he wants to travel the world as a famous, wandering bard. There is just one small problem: he tends to stretch the truth to make his stories sound more exciting. When he fails his official bardic examination, the Chief Bard gives him a magical, beautiful harp. Fflewddur is thrilled, until he discovers the instrument's very embarrassing secret. Every time he exaggerates, brags, or tells a tiny fib, a harp string snaps with a loud ping! You will chuckle as this well-meaning king tries to navigate the world without breaking all his strings. Read along as Fflewddur learns that being honest, even when it is difficult, is the true mark of a noble hero and a legendary storyteller.
