37 Kings and a Budgerigar is surely designed for those of us who still laugh at Love Actually’s deadpan ‘Duh’ in response to the important question: ‘There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?’
Fear not, Richard Curtis – there exists a nativity set which proudly includes a budgerigar. And it – along with 50 others – is used in 37 Kings and a Budgerigar by Richard Littledale for an unusual walk through the Christmas story.
