Der Katzenprinz

Der Katzenprinz, or The Cat Prince in Common, is a Zemnian children's book from Caleb's childhood, found on the small round table in each of the bedrooms of Widogast's Nascent Nein-Sided Tower. On the cover is a beautiful gold leaf illustration of a cat standing on two feet and holding out a top hat. The story is about a sickly young boy who meets a cat from the woods who wears a small top hat and encourages him to dance, which helps the boy recover.

Jester looked at the books in her room in Caleb's Tower to see if any were readable. She saw the cover of Der Katzenprinz, noting it was cute and wanting to read it, but since it was in Zemnian, she just ordered some cocoa and stared at the cover. The next morning, she confronted Caleb about the book and he offered to read it to her sometime.

After having previously tried to read the book before noticing it was written in Zemnian, Jester knocked on Caleb's door in the Tower to ask him to cast Tongues on her so that she would be able to read the story. Rather than doing so, he invited her in and read the full story to her himself.
