An English translation by the author with illustrations by Gilliam Hume was published in 1968 by J. M. Dent. It was reprinted by Franklin Watts in 1969, by Collins Armada in 1971, 1973 and 1989, and by Fontana Lions in 1980 and 1987. The book was also translated into German, Afrikaans, Danish, and Spanish. Told in a style similar to The Arabian Nights, it concerns the failing health of an elderly king who is kept alive by stories told by visiting animals. The book received widespread acclaim in Europe, won the Dutch literary prize for children's literature, and is now considered a classic. Amanda Craig described it in The Times in 2008 as "one of the blazing jewels of children's literature."[1] A paperback re-issue by Glasgow-based Strident Publishing from 2008 includes new illustrations and an introduction by the author's daughter Leonie.[2] Notes1. ^{{cite news |first=Amanda |last=Craig |authorlink=Amanda Craig |title=Amanda Craig on cracking Easter reads for children |url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article3552754.ece |publisher=The Times |location=London |date=13 March 2008 |accessdate=June 26, 2009}} 2. ^Strident page on the 2008 reprint edition External links
