In this book you'll hear fascinating tales about kids down the mines, battles on the football field, secret stones and kings and queens galore. Check out cool stories about a famous spy, an underwater monster, a flying scotsman and a flying great grandmother. You'll find hats and bats, crazy laws, royal limos and some amazing legends.
