Get to know the hilarious true story of King Louis XIV of France and his famous high-heeled shoes

King Louie was a very BIG king in all ways but one: He was five-feet-four-inches short. So Louie and his royal cobbler cooked up the perfect high-heeled solution to help Louie appear taller. But after an embarrassing tumble (on the dance floor, no less ) Louie learned that his subjects were loyal no matter how big--or how shrimpy--their beloved Louie might have been. Readers young and old will relate to this silly and sweet story of King Louie XIV--a man who had it all, but still felt small.
