Lukas is liever lui dan moe. Hij spendeert zijn laatste geld aan een rondtrekkende tovenaar Battisto, om te zien wat hij kan toveren. De tovenaar duwt Lukas met zijn gezicht in een bak water en Lukas ontwaakt zwemmend in de zee aan de kust van een vreemd land, waar hij tot koning uitgeroepen wordt en in vele avonturen verzeld raakt.

Een spannend verhaal, vlot geschreven met humor. (

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0440427843, Paperback)

Lukas is in the town square, watching a seedy-looking magician--and the next thing he knows, he's drowning in a far-distant sea. When he comes ashore, the first people he meets hail him as king of Abadan. Being king is fine with Lukas; that is, it would be fine if everyone wasn't trying to murder him! A fantasy so original, told in such imaginative English, that it may be considered [Alexander's] peak performance. --Publishers Weekly Lloyd Alexander's many honors include a Newbery Medal for The High King, a Newbery Honor Award for The Black Cauldron, and two American Book Awards. His most recent novel is The Iron Ring (Dutton). He and his wife live in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania.
