Is it a king or a prince or rajah? Are there other details? Can your friend Josh tell us anything more?Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362447090339269962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-22472641876119158582011-01-08T12:17:06.475-08:002011-01-08T12:17:06.475-08:00I kept on searching.

I'm wondering if the memory is a mashup of a few stories? <br /><br />Searching [fairy tale king castle cliff -neuschwanstein tax] gave me the The Brave Little Tax-Man http://pksilverson.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/the-brave-little-tax-man/<br /><br />I don't remember the search that took me to The Wicker House http://www.rosemarylake.com/wick.html It features a king with a castle on a cliff the ends up falling into the ocean at the end. <br /><br />I also went down the Lady Godiva path from the taxes angle and a result from a previous search. <br />The search for [lady godiva tax castle cliff] took me to http://www.parsons55.net/godiva/<br /><br />Again parts of each story match parts of the memory but not just one story matches all.krossbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877826327758153784noreply@blogger.com
