| Summary |
"The Cinnamon Heart: A Mediæval Candy Scrape in 3 Acts" by Arthur L. Brown and Howard Hoppin is a whimsical theatrical work, likely written in the late 19th century. The piece features a range of colorful characters, including the candy-adoring Princess Caramella and her father, King Nougat I, as they navigate the challenges posed by her suitors and the zany antics of a quirky professor and chemists. The book presents a satirical and humorous exploration of courtship and sweetness against a backdrop of medieval charm. The opening of the story establishes a bustling castle courtyard where suitors, armed with guitars, gather to serenade Princess Caramella, expressing their love and desperation for her hand. Amidst their antics, the King emerges with his humorous take on royalty while revealing the financial undercurrents of courtship. As Caramella’s heart is revealed to be more enamored with candy than suitors, the scene is set for a playful examination of love, duty, and the eccentricities of candy-making chemistry that will unfold throughout the acts.
