Everything      simply must go perfectly.         King Fabian wakes up, stretches, and...         farts.         His wife's fury is so huge that he panics and blames the butler,      who is carted off to the dungeons. Leaving behind a big problem:      Fabian isn't really the brains behind the crown: it is the butler...         how will dithery Fabian manage to pull off this high-pressure      event alone? His small and smelly fart looks like it will kick      off a crisis...         Frank - a kitchen boy with a big imagination - is drafted in as      an emergency butler.

Stephen on writing for children (interview on ITV's      Lorraine): \"Every page has to grip them, make      them laugh, be interesting because they can drop it. There are      screens everywhere that they can pick up. That's part of      the reason why I started writing books because I had such fun as      a kid reading books. I always had my head in a book. I wanted to      write books that were unputdownable for children, that were full      of adventure and crazy big characters and made them laugh.\"      Anita Mangan is a celebrated graphic designer      and illustrator who has designed over 60 books including for Leon      Restaurants, Gizzi Erskine and Fearne Cotton.
