review 1: A fun little tale. A court jester, "being also a dwarf and a cripple," is nicknamed Hop-Frog by the king because of the way he moves. The jester and his girlfriend, who is also a dwarf and serves in the king's court, are regularly humiliated. After one too many disgraceful incidents, the two plot their revenge. Moral of the story, never give power to someone you've wronged, because they very well may use it.
review 2: This one was a surprise for me. Not exactly one of his creepiest stories, but it really made you agree that the bad guys, the king & his ministers' council totally deserved what they got. To take away a boy's name & call him by a ridiculous name simply because of his disabilities is a sad thing, but I know that historically it did happen with co... moreurt fools. I am glad to see that the fool gets the upper hand in this one :) less
