Description: When a King bans the dark completely, installing an artificial sun, and enforcing 'anti-dark" laws, it seems like a good idea. The citizens don't need to worry about monsters, crime, or any of the other scary things that might live in the dark. But what happens when nobody can sleep? Will the citizens revolt?.

Review: What if you had enough power that if you didn’t like something you could simply ban it? The young prince in the story is so scared of the dark that when he becomes king, he decides to ban it. Written in the form of a traditional fairy tale this is a very astute exploration of politics, power and its abuse as well as revolt against it. Using dark and light as a main theme allows the story to be very visually engaging, making it easier for younger audiences to grasp the underlying themes of the story. Using fireworks as the ultimate weapon of revolt is particularly effective, creating a great contrast, visually, to the rest of the narrative. This is an ingenious, entertaining story which also reminds us that sometimes you just have to take the rough with the smooth, and that balance in life is all that is needed.
