King of the Land of Flopdoodle

The rather old fashioned kingdom of Flopdoodle exists in a world which in some respects is vaguely like ours decades or even centuries ago, but in others is oddly different. When its young King decides to take a safari holiday, it turns out to be rather more challenging than he had expected. But this turns out to be only the start of a series of exciting and often comic episodes. For, when he gets back home, he finds that, while he has been away, his country has been plunged into a major crisis on a totally absurd pretext. It is not long before he also realizes that he faces a personal threat to his life from a mysterious and sinister conspirator, who will stop at nothing to get rid of him.
