About this listen

The wizard Jackdaw has deciphered the Uppercase Prophecy, a mysterious riddle that foretells the fate of the kingdom. After reading it, he finds out that the kingdom's only hope lies in…someone. With part of the prophecy missing, it's not clear whether the kingdom’s only hope lies in a gallant knight or in a sub-assistant goatherd with a similar name.

To find out, both of them must embark on a quest to decipher the three parts of the Riddle of Ages. Only then will they be able to thwart Elm, a diminutive dark lord with big plans to shake up the kingdom’s harvest of magic beans. But, prophecy or not, neither the knight nor the goat herder have time on their side, and so must rely on a washed-up wizard, an un-distressed damsel, and a rejected evil sidekick to help save the day. If neither of them can do it, magic bean production will cease forever, plunging the kingdom into a new age of darkness without magic or the kingdom’s famous magic-bean burritos.

This is a novelization of the musical A Wonderful Day for a Quest, now with 99 percent more humorous footnotes!

A Wonderful Day for a Quest, written by Michael Young and narrated by Kevin Perkins is a short, fun listen that encapsulates all of our favourite tropes from the fantasy realm along with an abundance of wit and humour. Beautifully narrated by Kevin Perkins, I was chuckling all the way, not least in respect of the narrator (the Wizard Jackdaw, 3rd cousin to Merlin) and the sidebar narrations which had me howling

A fun listen and so much potential to be so much more.

Thank you to StoryOrigins, Michael Young and the narrator Kevin Perkins for this lovely ALC. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own

A Goatherd, a Wizard, a Wotzit and a Prophecy. Chuck in a plethora of Tolkienesque creatures and some not-so-veiled references to classic fantasy and you've got a witty, perfectly narrated, tale of a quest for a hero who otherwise would never amount to a hill of beans (Luna, Blue or otherwise)

Special note for the Narrator who really brings the whole story to life
