Description

Cantankerous King Colin is about a King who thinks he can get away with being mean because he is King. King Colin is feeling rather cantankerous and doesn't take into account other people's feelings. He is generally bad mannered and it is not until his mother gets involved that he realises he is not the only one who is able to order people about!
