The year 1600 is full of secrecy; as separatists in England begin to hold secret church meetings hiding from the Queen, that very Queen is holding secret meetings with the Ambassador of Morocco.
What will come of all this? From the tropical rainforest of the African Congo, to the great Kingdom of Benin, to present-day Morocco and England, join a migrating Cuckoo bird with a sweet tooth to discover some of the key players of this exciting time in history!

We borrowed quotes from Lewes Lewknor, an English courtier, who wrote about the Moroccan Ambassador’s visit, as an eye-witness! He described the scene of Queen Elizabeth's royal court when the Moroccan Ambassador arrived.
