The frame of this book is the story of a king who, misled by the false accusations of his baffled and revengeful wife, orders the execution of his innocent son, a crime from committing which he is diverted by the wise advice of his chief councilor, only to be restrained again by the words of his second councilor, to be incited to it once more by the Queen, and so on. |
