Prince Gareth thinks his coming of age ceremony will be mere pageantry, but during the celebration a dark family secret comes to light. A secret that leads to a suicide, a murder, and his exile. Now Prince Gareth must become the man he is proclaimed to be, or die. Set in a post-apocalypse future, The Prince & the Jester follows Gareth as he flees across a nightmarish landscape. Mutant beasts, human-hating cyborgs, a horde of barbarians . . . nothing match the horror of what chases him. The Jester, the king's twin, hidden behind his painted face all these years because of a prophecy, is a man with dark powers. Gareth has stolen one of his objects of power, an ancient stone dubbed Demon's Eye, and the Jester will not rest until he recovers it. Worse still, the insidious stone begins to twist his mind, and he faces a terrible decision. Using its powers might be the only way to save the last vestiges of civilization, but doing so might destroy everything.

In this lively work, Beatrice K. Otto takes us on a journey around the world in search of one of the most colorful characters in history—the court jester. Though not always clad in cap and bells, these witty, quirky characters crop up everywhere, from the courts of ancient China and the Mogul emperors of India to those of medieval Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. With a wealth of anecdotes, jokes, quotations, epigraphs, and illustrations (including flip art), Otto brings to light little-known jesters, highlighting their humanizing influence on people with power and position and placing otherwise remote historical figures in a more idiosyncratic, intimate light. Most of the work on the court jester has concentrated on Europe; Otto draws on previously untranslated classical Chinese writings and other sources to correct this bias and also looks at jesters in literature, mythology, and drama. Written with wit and humor, Fools Are Everywhere is the most comprehensive look at these roguish characters who risked their necks not only to mock and entertain but also to fulfill a deep and widespread human and social need.
