About this book

A king from the imaginary country of Why brings an unusual royal party to London in G. E. Farrow's children's fantasy. The narrator recalls a visit from Girlie and Boy, two children familiar with Why and its neighbouring kingdom, Zum. Playful verses explain how these places might be reached through sleep or a call to a figure sitting in the moon, setting the tone for a story built on nonsense and improbable encounters.

London's familiar customs become sources of confusion and comedy. Before a visit to Windsor, the Wallypug's cloak, crown and sceptre are dressed with flowers, while the Doctor-in-Law insists that the party travel in third-class railway carriages. The contrast between royal ceremony and such practical economies gives the tale its particular humour.
