A young Queen is sent gifts from her seven kingdoms around the world. She receives everything imaginable, from giraffes, monkeys and flamingos, to exotic fruits - but the fruit she desires most has never survived the long journey. Frustrated, she orders Bartlett the Explorer across the world to collect the fragile melidrop fruit and bring it back to court.

Join the inventive, irreverent Bartlett on his rollicking adventure from the hottest to the coldest countries in the world as he struggles to complete the task. Will the Queen have patience enough to keep her side of the bargain?
