The king of Quizzical Island

The king of Quizzical Island had a most inquisitive mind. He said, “If I sail to the edge of the world I wonder what I will find?”

When his wily old Wizard and Whispering Witches can’t answer the king’s question, he makes up his quizzical mind to find out for himself. And so, in a ship made of wood from the Tea Bag Tree – and despite the fears of his faithful that he’ll fall off the edge – the king sets off on a wondrous adventure across a topsy-turvy world.

Gently absurd and delightfully entertaining, this rhyming tale of a curious king on a singular search evokes the playful tradition of Edward Lear.
