Two best friends, King Edward and Jersey Royal, went around Mr. Jeffries' Magic Supermarket every night when it was closed, looking for great adventures and learning a lot on the way. They asked lots of questions but people did not always know the answers so they had to look around and read the notices and work things out for themselves. On their journey they meet lots of old friends and made many new ones. Through their experiences and adventures they come to learn the ways of the world.
