Two Terrible Vikings Feast with the King

Three fantastic new stories! Hack and Whack babysit a toddler - Fire Hazard - and discover to their horror that they might not be the worst vikings in the village after all . . . Then they manage to secure an exciting invite to feast with the visiting king, but discover that it's three days of having to be on their best behaviour . . . Until the new teenaged king turns out to be a lout - food fights ensue, and he loves them. Unfortunately, that's when the snotty, privileged, wealthy winter guests turn up - distant cousins who can't be turned away. They make everyone's life a misery - can Hack and Whack find a way to get rid of them? Packed full of humour that children will love and illustrated with anarchy by the fabulous Steve May.
