This is one of John Harris' most popular stories. He's told it to thousands of enraptured children in schools and libraries all over the country and now - by huge popular demand - it's available in print from March 2009. It's a story about loyalty, fear and courage. It will make you laugh and might make you cry. It's also about huge wealth, pots of gold, greedy robbers, nosey villagers and a bit of a (rather magical) surprise. If you're lucky enough to have heard John tell this story you'll know what a treat you're in for. If you're not, find out what you've been missing.
