During the Dark Ages and lost somewhere out in the stormy Irish Sea, is the Kingdom of Insolvia under the entertaining rule of silly King Cuthbert, helped by his magician Glastonbury. And the King needs a lot of help.Author Jo Brindle wrote this funny and witty tale especially to be read to younger children, maybe ideally at bedtime.As a text for story-telling, it works really well. One can imagine children sitting wide-eyed and awake, listening to the tale and giggling along with the strange things that go on in that unlikely lost kingdom.Faced with invasion of an army, and fighting insolvency in Insolvia, King Cuthbert has problems, to say the least. How will he resolve them?Well, sneak in to read it for yourself or wait for it to be read out aloud to you.
