The Arguers

The Arguers is a delightful and original fairy tale by the celebrated creator of The Book of Mistakes. It tells the story of a community that forgets how to get along.

The first argument in the tale was over a brush and a comb, and which one would be better for untangling the king's beard. This led to more arguments over letters and spoons, until everyone was arguing all the time. No one could remember when the arguing had started or why, but they were all very good at it.

The king and queen decided to hold a contest to find the best arguer in the land. However, everyone was so caught up in arguing that they couldn't even hear the queen announce the start of the contest. What will happen next in this whimsical and humorous tale?
