Victor's Quest
By Pamela Freeman
Illustrated by Kim Gamble
A classic Australian tale about a sweet but dense prince on a quest to find a princess.
Prince Victor (who is not very smart) and his horse Quince (who is) set off on a quest to find a princess for Victor to marry. Bravely, they venture into the Dark Forest of Nevermore, where things swoop out of the trees, and someone is casting spells …
- This funny, sweet and popular classic Australian fairytale is being reissued before the newly penned and long-awaited sequel, Victor's Challenge.
- Victor’s Quest was short-listed for the CBCA Book of the Year for Younger Readers in 1997

Review
"Pamela Freeman's story is warm and engaging, and there are a few challenges in the text. As for the illustrations - well, its Kim Gamble of both Tashi and Minton fame. I can't imagine a child not enjoying Victor's Quest." www.booktopia.com.au
