![]() ![]() ![]() Quirky, set in a time of willful ignorance and a self-glorifying leader, and ending with a well-deserved comeuppance, The King’s Golden Beard is a witty fable for our times. Everyone (and everything) was forced to shave every morning-thus, pirates, billy goats, puffer fish, whales, cacti, cats, and even brooms and brushes had to go hairless.Ĭopyright Klaas Verplancke, 2021, courtesy of minedition. “A long long time ago, when most people still believed the world was flat as a pancake, there lived a king with a beautiful beard.” The king lived for his shiny beard, admiring it in the mirror all day long and creating “special laws to protect his beard and help it grow.” One law stated that his beard could never be trimmed, and another forbid anyone (or anything) else to grow a beard or moustache. The King’s Golden Beard By Klaas Verplancke Thanks to minedition for sharing a copy of The King’s Golden Beard with me for review consideration. If not, of course, you can always regrow your beard – just like the townsfolk in today’s book! If you’ve worn a beard for some time, do you remember what you looked like before your grew it? Does your family? Maybe you have kids who have never seen you without a beard! You may find you like a clean-shaven appearance. If you’re a fan of the bearded look – whether full or scruffy – today is a day to rethink your style and perhaps have a shave.
