Prince Raphael is as rich and as handsome as a prince should be. He is
also arrogant, greedy, and selfish. Knowing Raphael to be an unfit
ruler, the dying king decrees that his son shall not wear his crown
until he marries a woman who equals him in appearance, intelligence, and
wealth. Then a magic wolf brings Rosamund, the daughter of a poor
farmer, to the castle. The prince and his advisors - amazed by
Rosamund's cleverness and beauty - joyfully pronounce her the king's
equal. But the story is not as simple as that. For not only must
Rosamund be Raphael's equal - Raphael must be hers.
