The king's in the gardens with his roses; the queen is in her solar, where the plants, dream-woven, grow in every shape and colour.
Meet Jessamine, a small dragon with a heart the size of the castle itself. Meet Paglar the cook, Tambul, the wizard's apprentice; the best-of-all-chairs, and the wizard's favourite carpet. Meet the sylphs, causing havoc in the Potionery.
It's the mad Court at Castle Chansany and everyone is welcome. Tea's served at three, and there's a banquet after. Don't be late!
