Loyal Royal Retainers




Taxes are Going Up Again




But How Can We Ever Manage ?




When Even the Civil Servants Aren't Being Paid




The King Has Never Been So Hard Up




Silly Billy's Just Had His Final Tax Demand




But Don't Worry The Fairy of the Wood is Here to Help




Maybe Jack Can Help ?




But Mum Doesn't Seem Too Worried




If Only There Was a Magic Sword to Help Us




Or Maybe the Boys and Girls ?




Or Failing Them Maybe Daisy Has the Answer




But Watch Out The Wicked Witch of the Wood is Here




She Has Some Helpful Tax Advice




It's a Sad Day When You Have To Sell The Old Cow




But the Beans Let Us Borrow Lots of Money From the Giant




And if You Think My Clothes are Daft Look at Hers




But the King Wants His Share




What Are We Going To Do ?




Time for Some Reliable Tax Advice




Taken Prisoner of The Witch




Jack Sings Out for Help




Can We Get a Move On ? - There's a Giant Here Somewhere !




Told You !




Someone's Taken a Shine to Silly Billy




So Everyone Can Live Happily Ever After
