| 3 | 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. |

| 5 | Like ''Literature/TheArabianNights'', the book takes the form of several short stories, roughly one per chapter, connected by the story arcs of the king in his castle, and The Wonder Doctor making all haste to find the Golden Speedwell. |
