He'd grown accustomed to issuing orders and, even after leaving the army, expected others to obey them or get the hell out of his way. This lofty sense of privilege and self-worth was only equaled by his complete disregard for virtually every other human being.

As one adult reader commented, "This is a wise and funny fairy tale which may well become a classic myth." Another commented, ..."in a form that is difficult to do well, this is a story that maintains its tone and irony throughout while generating suspense."
