"Prince Dusty: A Story of the Oil Regions" by Kirk Munroe is a tale set in the late 1800s about Arthur "Prince Dusty" Dustin, and his trials in the oil-filled lands as he struggles to find a sense of belonging among his family. Lonely and longing for a friend, especially kind little Cynthia, Arthur finds himself set apart from his wild cousins and the strict rules of his Aunt Nancy. Together, Arthur and Cynthia, imagining themselves on a royal quest, set out to help creatures in need, like a fallen bird and a trapped butterfly. These innocent escapades stand in stark contrast to Arthur's difficult life at home, creating the backdrop for his blossoming friendship with Cynthia and his growing desire for freedom and a fresh start.
