melancholy King Watkins the First Illustrated by F. D, Bedford from the book ' The magic fishbone ' by Charles Dickens, 1812-1870, Publication date 1922 Published by Frederick Warne & Co.Ltd. King Watkins the First is the father of the lovely and kind-hearted Princess Alicia and a tribe of eighteen other darlings. Between their money problems, the queen's illness, and the children's boisterous doings, the king and his eldest daughter are fairly overwhelmed by responsibilities. But a chance meeting with the good fairy Grandmarina brings a bit of magic into their lives and leads the entire family toward health and happiness. She gives Princess Alicia a magic fishbone. To her father's confusion she declines to use it. Her reward is marriage, which does seem a fantasy as she and the groom appear to be very young
