The Robe of Skulls
By Vivian French
An exuberant, hilarious and wildly entertaining fairy tale with a cast of characters who are good, bad and very, very ugly!
All is not well in the crumbling castle high above the mountain village of Fracture. The sorceress Lady Lamorna has her heart set on a new robe. A very expensive new robe. To get the cash she will stop at nothing, including kidnapping, blackmail and more than a little black magic. But she doesn't take into account the heroic Gracie Gillypot, a gallant if rather scruffy prince, two chatty bats, the wickedest stepsister ever, a troll with a grudge and some very Ancient crones.
- A fast-paced, action-packed adventure to enthral boys or girls who like their fairy stories with a twist.
