"The King goeth upon a journey with many horses, yet riding upon none, when the pomp of travelling shall be heard in the streets and the sound of the lute and the drum and the name of the King. And I would know what princes and what people shall greet me on the other shore in the land to which I travel."

THE JOURNEY OF THE KING is a work of Interactive Fiction based on the short story of the same name written by Lord Dunsany and published in 1906.

The game is available for download from here, (courtesy of the Interactive Fiction Archive).

You'll need an interpreter as well, I recommend Gargoyle for Windows or Spatterlight for Mac.
