There's a new king in the land, but he's a child!

The people say he must go to King School, but the king hates wearing heavy robes and remembering difficult rules.

So the king says, 'NO!'

And he takes the people into the forest and shows them a different way to be king...

A brilliant new story from the internationally acclaimed author of Beegu and Slow Loris.

'One of the most subtle and innovative writers working today.'
