Book description
Hidden deep within the crumbling island city of Widdershins lies the
Crown of Iron. It's up to Trundle Boldoak, Jack Nimble and the Roamany
Princess Esmeralda Lightfoot to find it. And there's nothing that can
stop them! Well, except for Captain Grizzletusk and his pirate hordes, a
deadly reef of rocks across their path, and armed guards patrolling the
very place they need to search. Still, at least the adventurers have
Esmeralda's Aunt Millie, the Roamany Queen, to help them. She'll get
them out of trouble ... won't she? Allan was born under the kitchen
floor of a derelict house in south-east London. At the age of nine, he
inherited a typewriter and, for want of anything better to do, began to
write stories. He had his first book published at the age of one hundred
and three; lots more followed. He has a German wife, an English cat and
a collection of old Beano annuals.
