A light-hearted, old-fashioned short story for the festive season. Find out what happens when a new young Queen, bored of wild boar, challenges her huntsmen to find a new dish fit for the royal Christmas feast. Is this tale the real reason that we eat turkey at Christmas? Probably not, as I made it all up. Happy Christmas to all who read it, whatever you're having for the your Christmas dinner.

(No birds were harmed in the writing of this book.)

This story was previously published on the author's website (www.youngbyname.me) and was subsequently chosen to feature behind a door of the Mumsnet Advent Calendar 2012.

REVIEWS

"Crisp, clever and fast-paced, this short story received my highest recommendation." Ginger Dawn Harman

"If you're looking for a fun new holiday story, it's well worth the 99c to check this one out." Shay Tressa De Simone

"I really enjoyed it... It had all the elements; first, a question; second, a quest; third conflict; fourth characterisation and finally the answer – well, an answer! A real hoot!" (Shaun Ivory, author of "No More Heroes" and "The Judas Cup")

"Cute.... deliciously random... funny to boot. Has given me food for thought.... Made me come away smiling. Thank you." (David Ellis, blogger at www.toofulltowrite.wordpress.com)

"Definitely my favourite of your stories so far!" (Helena Mallett, author of "Flash Fraction: 75 x 75")
