内容简介：
Only the Apples of Youth can restore old King Kvetch to youth and health, so the queen dispatches knights, including her own son, to find these magic Apples. One knight-The Soupman-has an unusual gift of conjuring and cooking soups that help people and animals overcome their problems: The Wingless Eagle, grounded after losing his wings; The Wind Sprite, no longer able to make a simple breeze; The Hidden Fawn seeking his dear deer mom. Soups cooked by The Soupman have magic power to fulfill their wishes and the wishes of others he meets. His own quest is greatly helped by his generosity, compassion and bravery as he crosses The Bottomless Canyon, The Dense Forest, The Dry Desert, and Wet Lake. Can The Soupman return with the Apples of Youth? And what of his greatest danger-the treacherous Prince Kvetch-who awaits him at home? Will The Soupman succeed?
