Once upon a time three wise kings came out of a distant land and followed a star to the little town of Bethlehem to honour a child who had just been born. But there was another king whom few have heard of. Unlike the others he arrived too late and empty handed. His name was Mazzel. He was The Fourth King. Delayed by a cry for help Mazzel misses his appointment with the three kings and so his story begins. With his faithful camel Chamberlin he sets out in frantic pursuit but the way is hard and long. Each time they nearly catch up they encounter someone in need delaying them all over again. Continually torn between conscience and duty the star fades and their journey seems to be all but over... Filled with charm and humour The Fourth King is the moving and magical tale of a devoted King who in sacrificing his life's dream finds true happiness and contentment.

It's National Service 1950s Style. Can they Survive the Spam Semolina and Screaming Sergeant Majors? Thirty 18-24 year old men are thrown together and put through a regimen which half way through the last century was reputed to turn boys into men: National Service. In a disused army barracks they'll be given a taste of army life 50s style. An abuse-screaming sergeant major will lick them into shape. Humiliating punishments will include cleaning the toilets with a toothbrush and cutting the lawn with nail scissors. They'll be beaten down and dragged up only to be beaten down again - drilled and driven until they reach breaking point. The most unexpected will crack. The most unlikely will run. The most surprising will rise to the challenge. 30 volunteers face home-sickness barrack room tensions and a grueling regime. Divided from the outset into two competing squads those who survive will achieve the ultimate rewards of National Service: self-discipline self-reliance and the kind of self-knowledge that only comes with being a member of Lad's Army.
