Once upon a time, a long, long while ago, before Arthur and Guinevere, Æthelred the Unready or even King Bewilliam, a lost tribe of Israel landed upon British shores to build Warehouse Castle and establish the Wholesale Kingdom. Many generations later, King Irv made great strides for his people as his Merlin invented solar panels, a time machine, and then traveled to the future to bring back canned ale, pizza and golf. This, then, is the tale of that great monarch, King Irv, his wife Queen Sophie and their children, Prince Sol and Princess Judith, and of an Oxford scholar from the future that changes their lives forever.
