Sanji's room is the best in town - right above the baker's shop. The delicious smells of crusty bread and cinnamon buns waft up both morning and evening for free - until the baker realises, that is. He demands that Sanji pay for his smells and, when he refuses, takes him to court. There it seems the judge is on the baker's side for Sanji must bring five silver coins to the court next day. The smells, sights and sounds of the Middle East permeate the pages of this clever story, illustrated partly in comic-strip style and with humour a-plenty.
