About the book from the dust jacket)
The King accidentally drops the royal orb on his Coronation Day and discovers the Fairy Cotton-Wooleena inside it. The Fairy tells His Majesty that it is not he who rules the country and keeps law and order… but SHE! For three hundred years she has kept his ancestors in cotton-wool and life has changed little. When the King decides to dispense with her services. Incredible things happen.
This memorable fantasy, written in Laurence Housman’s inimitable style, is spiced with the humor, wit and verve that are evident in his other successful books.
