Eighteenth century England was a hostile time and place to live. The dreaded pox lurked around every corner and a war-mad king was more than willing use his subjects as cannon fodder. Yallery Brown worked extremely hard to avoid anything that could cause him displeasure but little did he know that nonchalantly milling his way through life would lead to him becoming entangled in a war that had been raging for six thousand years. Unfortunately, he finds himself immortal, uncontrollably granting cursed wishes and just shy of three inches tall. This is a hilarious tale of danger and adventure and a comforting badger scrotum tobacco pouch that could mean the difference between life and death.
