But at five o’clock in the afternoon, the workday ends and it’s time to play—and in the case of King Birtram, that means racing around town on a pair of red stilts! But sour old Lord Droon doesn’t think that this kind of fun befits Binn’s king. . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Seussian spin on a conventional fairy tale, \u003ci\u003eThe King’s Stilts \u003c\/i\u003eis as topical today as when it was first published in 1939.
