Summary "The Hope of the Katzekopfs; or, The Sorrows of Selfishness. A Fairy Tale." by Paget is a fairy tale written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around King Katzekopf and his wife, Queen Ninnilinda, who joyously celebrate the birth of their son, Prince Eigenwillig. However, the tale also explores themes of selfishness and moral education, as the young prince is influenced by a capricious fairy godmother, Lady Abracadabra, who warns his parents that the prince's self-willed nature must be tempered to avoid catastrophic consequences. The opening of the story sets the stage for a whimsical and engaging narrative, filled with the delights and depredations of royal life. It introduces the jubilant atmosphere at King Katzekopf's court, where celebrations erupt after the long-awaited prince is born. However, the joy soon intersects with foreboding when Lady Abracadabra arrives to impart a cautionary message about the consequences of selfishness and the need for the prince to learn humility. The dynamic between the characters is rich, with the interplay of joy, anxiety, and humor promising readers an enjoyable exploration of fairy tale conventions and parental dilemmas as they follow the unfolding life of young Eigenwillig.
