Book description
A comic fantasy novel by the author of Expecting Someone Taller and
Who's Afraid of Beowulf? . Vanderdecken, the Flying Dutchman, did not,
as is believed, make a deal with the Devil which left him cast away for
centuries. The truth is different, and very confusing. Tom Holt's
first book was published when he was just thirteen and, to his horror,
he was hailed as an infant prodigy. While studying at Oxford however he
discovered Bar Billiards and turned from poetry to comic fiction.
