The Gammon King

Hark! Thou speaketh falsely, aged simpleton... 'Tis naught but folly, this tale of the Gammon King. No monarch of rosy hue shall emerge as our salvation.

But when Bobby visits an eccentric engineer with a knack for turning scrap into spectacular, everything changes. As read by Barry Luck.
