Sebastian Darke: Prince of Fools
by Philip Caveney

Information below by Jordan Wood - 1.N2

Sebastian Darke has the world on his narrow shoulders. The son of a human father and an elvish mother, he is desperately trying to become the family breadwinner and has taken on his late father's job as celebrated jester, Prince of Fools.

The trouble is Sebastian can't tell a good joke to save his life. Dressed in his father's clothes and accompanied by his talking (and endlessly complaining) buffalope, Max, he sets off for the fable city of Keldon, where he hopes to be appointed court jester to King Septimus.

On the way he encounters a tiny but powerful warrior called Cornelius; the beautiful and captivating Princess Kerin; blood-thirsty brigands and enough perils to make him wonder why he ever decided to leave home
