Once upon a time, in a land three bus rides away, there lived a boy named Zebedee Zing...

Children want to be all sorts of things when they grow up, but Zebedee Zing doesn't mind what job he does as long as he can chomp and chew, and guzzle and gulp, all day long. So when the vacancy for `Taster to the King' becomes available, it seems that Zebedee is perfect. But Zebedee soon proves to be just a little too good at his job for the king's liking...

Once again, Damon Burnard has used his unique and quirky humour to create a zany character in an unreal world, in a completely credible story!
