    <body><![CDATA[Sebastian Darke is not funny, which can be a problem... when you are supposed to be a jester.  Nevertheless, Sebastian and his talking buffalope Max (slightly cynical, but very strong) set off to become a court jester in a distant court.  They meet Cornelius, a tiny (but fierce!) warrior along the way.  They rescue Princess Kerin from Brigands too.  If only they knew that her uncle, King Septimus, was the one who arranged to have the princess killed... they're all in a whole lot of trouble!<br/><br/>It sounds like a stupid plot, I know.  But it is AWESOME! I loved it!  It's funny, adventurous, and totally wierd at points.  Max the Buffalope rocks.  Princess Kerin finally stops looking in the mirror long enough to become a cool person.  Cornelius is an insane fighter.  And Sebastian may not be funny, but he can take on the world!<br/><br/>Read this if you know that you deserve a life of adventure, not the monotony of 9-5 job!<br/><br/>--Courtney]]></body>
