Synopsis

In this stort retelling of King Thrushbeard, Queen Barbenia visits Boscada in search for an economic deal via a husband, but comes away with a prince-turned-deckhand after Prince Elio pushes his father too far. Queen Barbenia, known to Elio only as Captain Thrush, teaches Elio the meaning of hard work and comes away the better for it.
