The King Who Banned the Dark
When a King bans the dark completely, installing an artificial sun, and enforcing āanti-darkā laws, it seems like a good idea.Ā The citizens don't need to worry about monsters, crime, or any of the other scary things that might live in the dark. But what happens when nobody can sleep? Will the citizens revolt?
Waterstones' Children's Book Prize 2019, Klaus Flugge Prize 2019 and Independent Bookshop Week Awards 2019
There was once a little boy who was afraid of the dark. There's nothing unusual about that. Most children are afraid of the dark at one time of another. But this little boy was a Prince, and he decided that when he became King, he would do something about the dark.
He would ban it.
The King Who Banned the Dark is a beautiful and thought-provoking story about how we need the dark in order to enjoy the light.
