"After hours of painstaking research, the true story of what happened in Sherwood Forest has been uncovered: Maid Marian did all the work and Robin Hood took all the credit. Robin was actually a terrific coward. It was Marian, a born leader ever since she was her school's rounders captain, who managed to assemble a complete bunch of idiots to fight the evil ways of King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. In the (really really) old tale of the Worksop Egg Fairy we discover what happens when King John doesn't get his egg and soldiers for breakfast, how the soldiers get egg down their trousers, why the Sheriff gets egg on his face and who the Worksop Egg Fairy really is...or might be!" Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - minor creases at bottom of spine, minor edge wear. VG.
