A Brief Summary Of Jareth's Time In The Labyrinth

It has been over a decade since Sarah defeated The Goblin King and rescued her baby half-brother, Toby, from his kingdom. Jareth, the Goblin King, has watched as Toby grows up, secretly giving him everything he desired regardless of its attainability, propriety, or scale.
