  Prince Harvey had a great life. 
  He was very handsome (some would say, too handsome for his own good). He was heavily doted on by his parents, and the ladies were crazy about him. 
  Still, he had a good heart. 
  He spent his days swimming, fishing, practising his target shooting, and getting up to general high jinks with his cousin and best friend, Ralphie. He also enjoyed tearing about the kingdom on Black Terror (ironically, a rather timid horse). 
  Until, one day, he got on the heretofore good witch Bettina’s nerves so much that she turned him into a scarecrow and banished him to an unknown apple orchard. 
  (Well, it was unknown to Harvey. Obviously the owners of the orchard knew about it). 
  What a pickle! 
  Meanwhile, the princess of a neighbouring kingdom had her own set of problems. She was getting into the questionable habit of discussing those problems, and everything else dear to her heart, with the new resident scarecrow. 
  What does fate have in store for these two?
