When Tony Wibberley decides to leave his dreary job in the north of England to take up a new one in the booming country of Xanadu-du, he has no idea what he is getting into. He embarks on an adventure that sees him almost killed by stampeding elephants: involved in a coup in one of the tribal areas; caught up in a small war over stolen elephant dung; and finally marrying a woman who once had the temerity to call him a spittlediddy.
Nothing makes much sense in Xanadu-du, a country where the government is possibly from outer space, where crimes and good deeds are punished and rewarded by altering your age, where crocodiles have therapists and where flying rugs can talk. Diamonds are cheaper than yams here and the leader of the coup is determined to make a 200-year-old prophecy come true.
This fast-paced frolic will leave you gasping for breath and giggling like a giggling thing.
