About this audiobook

In Netherwell of the middle ages, the villagers select a hen to serve as their royal offering. It is trained, to comic failure, by Edric the shepherd, but is chartered by the hen to King Edward, a market charter being granted. The village thrives, pilgrims crowd and history is sometimes fate on two legs.
