Produktinformationen zu „Black Hearts in Battersea / The Wolves Chronicles (ePub)“

In this hilarious classic adventure, an innocent boy and his friends must stop a plot to topple the King of England.

Simon, the foundling from The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, arrives in London to meet an old friend and pursue the study of painting. Instead he finds himself unwittingly in the middle of a wicked crew's fiendish caper to overthrow the good King James and the Duke and Duchess of Battersea. With the help of his friend Sophie and the resourceful waif Dido, Simon narrowly escapes a series of madcap close calls and dangerous run-ins. In a time and place where villains do nothing halfway, Simon is faced with wild wolves, poisoned pies, kidnapping, and a wrecked ship. This is a cleverly contrived tale of intrigue and misadventure.

Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl

"It's a marvel!" -The New Yorker

"A wild yarn, not to be put down once it is started." -Washington Post

"A riot of wildly improbable adventures happening to absurd and loveable characters with Dickensian names in a time that never was . . . Heartrending, hair-raising, rib-tickling, and delightful." -New York Times
