Description: The Flying Trunk A man who inherited a great fortune spends it carelessly until he loses everything and becomes penniless. A friend gives him an old trunk, and having nothing else to put in it, the man climbs inside himself. But something amazing happens—the trunk rises into the air with him inside! It flies and flies until it lands in Turkey, where the man hears the story of a princess locked away in a tower. Flying the trunk to meet her, he tells her a story, and the two promise to marry... but then something unexpected happens. A World of Astonishing Imagination Andersen's The Flying Trunk is filled with breathtaking imagination brought vividly to life through stunning illustrations.
