The Fox and the Ghost King

A ghost king in a car park. Foxes who love football. A Premiership dream come true… Master writer Michael Morpurgo turns Leicester City’s legendary football fairy tale into a dazzling fictional one!

That is, until Daddy Fox finds the trapped ghost of a dead king. If the foxes release him, he’ll make their greatest wish come true. Can you guess what their wish will be…?
