Synopsis

King Leopold is kind but wacky, and has an obsession with displaying his rules on signs. Can two thieves get the better of him by pretending to be painters of New Signs?

Sun is delighted: Moon has agreed to marry him! All he needs to do is find clothes which are Fit for the Moon – and that’s easy enough... right?

Discover the hilarious answers in this collection of two beautifully barmy short stories...

Chip Colquhoun & Korky Paul's Fables & Fairy Tales: Inspiring stories from around the world, retold to inspire you.

These two short tales are great for reading aloud at bedtime with listeners aged 4+, and are also excellent for new independent readers aged 7+. Each features three beautifully detailed illustrations.
