Adapted for English from the well known and loved Polish tale, Pan Twardowski, Lord Harding and the Flying Roosters is a heart-warming story of a nobleman who dabbles with dangerous dark forces! Lord Harding lives in the beautiful historic city of Cracow. He is an educated and clever man, but spends far too much time reveling with his friends, drinking and frittering his time away.
