About this listen

Romans, Giants, and Crossbow Shenanigans!

Are you a fan of epic quests and mythical creatures? Then hold onto your helmets because this story has it all! Meet Manunitus Sourpuss, the ultimate crossbow slinging gladiator in town, who's about to take on the gnarliest Welsh giants ever seen! But wait, there's more! Our main Roman dude gets his mitts on some wicked green mush with some legit magical powers which claim to shrink giants! Our hero might just pull off some epic moves and save the day. This story also contains a potent lesson about seeing beyond the surface and understanding others. So, whether you're 8 or 88, watch out, Manunitus Sourpuss and his goo are coming through!It gets sillier!

This magical adventure is based in a real-life Roman City called Chester, famous for its huge Giant parades and its very own Amphitheatre where you can spot Roman soldiers taking a stroll! There's a super silly rule that says a Welsh friend can't hop into Chester until the sun says, "Hello!" They've got to scoot out before the sun says, "Goodbye!" But here's the craziest part – after the clock strikes twelve on a Sunday, it's crossbow fun time within the city walls!Can you believe it? Come on down and witness the silliness for yourself! Chester is calling, and it's a place where big parades, ancient Romans, and lots of laughter come together. Don't miss out on the fun – pack your sense of wonder and join the adventure!
