A provocative reassessment of the Australian constitution from the perspective of a political scientist.

Eight years ago, a young prince from a distant realm was ?kidnapped? and hidden from his evil father. On Earth, ten year old Albert Prince knows nothing of his past or the hope that the people of the realm have that he will someday return to save them from his father's oppressive rule. But the cruel King, looking for his son, will stop at nothing to retrieve him. Albert is thrust into a world he never knew existed as he flees from strange human/animal creatures pursuing him. His only chance is a stranger-yet ability he never knew he had, to transform his body into that of a lion. With the help of new friends, Albert finds a brother, and the two adventurers set out on a journey of excitement, danger, secret passageways and a unique mode of travel over light waves. Brian Daffern, while recuperating in the hospital from a service injury in the Marines, developed the ideas and characters that would grow into the Realms of his books. Through his spellbinding fantasy-adventure novels, the Prince Albert Series, it is the author's hope to help teach children the value of life and love, and of family and friendship.
