Official synopsis Publisher
Anders was adopted by Aunt Hulda and Uncle Olaf when he was one year old. Aunt Hulda really wanted a girl, and Uncle Olaf didn’t like boys either, so nothing Anders could do would ever please them. Then Mrs. Lundy, the fruit shop owner gave Anders a special apple. One thing led to another and Anders was carried away to Farawayland where his father, the King, was waiting for him. The kingdom is a happy place and full of sunshine except for one big worry: wicked Sir Kato wants to conquer the land and add it to the land of silence and gloom.
