A fable for modern times, Castle Waiting is a fairy tale that's not about rescuing the princess, saving the kingdom, or fighting the ultimate war between Good and Evil — but about being a hero in your own home. In this issue: Rackham searches for a missing shovel and ends up arguing with Chess about the finer points of the "manly arts"; Flora the Goat is fed up with being penned up; and Tolly finishes opening the secret passageway, with disastrous results.
