Their epic journey begins in 1849 and times were as bad as bad could be for most people, indeed Victorian London was certainly not a pleasant place if you were poor but even worse if you had the misfortune to be stuck in Mrs. Snagglesnarle's orphanage, which was exactly where Albert and Florrie found themselves. However, one fateful day the strange and hapless Mr. Arthur Canarthy turns up and informs them that their parents are in fact alive but cursed.

About Book 2
After being rescued from Mrs. Snagglesnarle's vile orphanage in Victorian London by the rather hapless Mr. Arthur Canarthy, they discover their parents aren't actually dead but if the children are ever to be reunited with their family, they must complete twelve dangerous and twisted quests in as many months.
Their epic journey has already seen them travelling to France with their new guardian and a group of smugglers, including the rough and ready Ebenezer Smythe.
After narrowly escaping a gruesome death at the hands of the murderous Bluebeard, they are about to discover far worse is still to come when the second quest is revealed to procure a dragon's tooth. But it quickly becomes clear that dark magic is at play and danger is waiting to pounce at every corner.
If you enjoy tales about cannibalistic witches and vicious trolls then read on if you dare, but be warned, this tale is no merry-go-round of fun and joy...
"A breath taking master piece that every child in my kingdom should own, the author is clearly a genius of which one has never encountered before. One thought there was just the correct balance between pathos, excitement and well researched historic detail. For once, one was amused and this is a proud example of why Britain has talent, certainly it has the royal seal of approval." - HRH Queen Victoria.
