註釋Boys playing in the back acres of an overgrown, forgotten cemetery are disturbed by an old man. In retaliation, they decide to scare him away. To the intruder's rescue comes Trig, the group's tag-along. A friendship is formed, and the old man rewards Trig's courage by telling him an incredible tale of an ancient time when a lowly Minstrel and his loyal Piper attempt to save a beautiful Princess from a dreaded Sorcerer determined to conquer her kingdom after it has been thrown into chaos by the unexpected death of her father.As the Minstrel tries to unearth a cunning traitor in their midst, he explores strange places and gains new friends. He also makes some startling discoveries which may lead him to winning his heart's secret desire: the Princess's hand in an unexpected contest she has started to help protect herself from her enemies. He also learns how the Princess comes to accept responsibility for her actions and what it means to be a leader as she bravely follows her heart to try to save her kingdom, even if it means losing everything she has ever wanted in life.Trig is enthralled by the thrilling story but begins to wonder about what he is hearing. The old man tells the passionate tale like it's his life's story, but it can't be --- or can it? Is there magic at work bringing the past and the present together? Only in the Minstrel's Tale will Trig find the truth and discover the old man's startling secret --- a secret that will propel him into the adventure of his life where he will learn a young man who thinks he is nothing special can still reach his dreams if he truly believes in himself.
