The Great Royal Race

The Great Royal Race was one of my favorite Carl Sommer books. It's a story about Princess Elizabeth who must choose between three suitors to be become her new husband and the next king. Her father had a wonderful idea on how to find him, and put all three suitors to a true test of loyalty. As the story ends you find out who her true love really is as he passes the royal test. What a great lesson in loyalty, love and wisdom.

Let The Games Begin.

The Great Royal Race made my heart race. It kept my interest and I was anxious to see who would win the princess. I couldn't wait to see what obstacle Sommer would put in the race to see the real true love of the destined prince. It made me smile and I was glad she married the the one who wasn't intested in riches. Hooray for the king.
