Quirky characters and their world of wonders - from the edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness to the deadly Glipwood Forest and beyond - set the stage for this epic adventure that includes...
- original songs and silly poems
- an ex-pirate grandfather
- toothy cows and a real sea dragons
- tours of Anklejelly Manor and Peet the Sock Man's treehouse
- suspenseful legend and fascinating lore
- genuine recipes for maggotloaf

This book was unlike anything I've ever read. It's hilarious in the ironic names and characters, creatures like "toothy cows" and a nation called "Dang"... but it was a quick read and fascinating in its speedy adventure through maze like bookshops and a "haunted" manor called Anklejelly. It was mind bending, adventurous, compelling and spellbinding. A great read for all ages.
