King Mansolain has ruled over the Copper Mountains for a thousand years, but his reign is coming to an end. As his heart slows like an unwinding clock, The Wonder Doctor diagnoses that only the Golden Speedwell, a rare flower from a far away land, can cure the king and restore his youth. To keep him alive, the king's citizens come to him each day to tell him a story, and the king in turn shelters them in his magnificent castle.
