And Hulta, who has carried messages safely through the danger and turmoil of battle, turns out to be a girl!’

1: ‘Synopsis: Not since the young hero, Lamorack, landed on this island many years ago, has anyone fought the great whirlpool to a finish. Exhausted by the long struggle, Prince Valiant sleeps the clock around.’
2: ‘To Lamorack, King of Tambelaine, Prince Valiant tells his tale and requests a ship to take him to the Misty Isles. The King listens quietly. Though time has whitened his hair, bent his wide shoulders & robbed his fine hands of their strength, his wit is still ken as a knife’.
