Synopsis
Here are Milo’s adventures in the Land of Wisdom, where he’s forced to think about many new things.
Milo learns of the argument between King Azaz and his brother, the Mathemagician, whose disagreement over words and numbers has led to the banishment of Princesses Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason.
Milo is dispatched to rescue the princesses from the Land of Ignorance.
Armed with the knowledge and skills he picks up on his journey, Mile rescues the princesses.
When he must return home, Milo bids farewell to his new friends, knowing his attitude toward learning will never be the same.
