Jakob Flint - From Fool to King — Jonathan J. Drake

In the fantastical Kingdom of Widdlelop, the King dies and a lottery is run to discover who the next ruler will be. This has life changing implications for Jakob Flint, a village idiot, who inherits without quibble the entire Kingdom. In his new position of power he discovers that the life of a King isn't as grand as first envisaged. With the threat of a barbarian invasion, a devious man-eating lizard Queen, plots against his rule and tight pants that do little to instil enthusiasm for the job, he has to learn quickly and try to make all the correct decisions. This edition is an improvement on the original version. It has an extra chapter included and some chapters extended to make it that little bit more extra special.
