Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One for the Morning Glory is a darkly comedic fantasy novel by John Barnes. The premise of it is that the characters are all aware that they feature in Fairy Tales...but they do not know which roles they play in the stories.The toddler Prince Amatus gets his hands on the Wine of the Gods and demonstrates that the truth of the saying, "A child who tastes the Wine of the Gods too early is only half a person afterwards." It's literal. The right half.Four mysterious Companions arrive at the castle, and the novel follows Prince Amatus through his adventures in the underground goblin kingdom, the attack of a mysterious illness, and the invasion by the usurper of the neighboring kingdom.And word play. Lots and lots of word play. The book is full of malapropisms used seriously and consistently throughout the work.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anachronism Stew: Used freely, and Lampshaded; when Sir John drinks tea, he thinks it's an anachronism, but the Duke points out that such problem exists only the lands that are merely actual.

Don't You Dare Pity Me!

Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Invoked: Amatus's behavior is so erratic after Gorlias's death that people worry that he doesn't sit about spurning sympathy despite his otherwise melancholy behavior.

All Myths Are True: It's lampshaded as one of the distinguishing marks of the kingdom, to distinguish it from lands that are merely actual.

Dying Alone: The Duke remembers kneeling beside men he had just mortally wounded and holding their hands and assuring them in their last moments.
