In her best tradition of wild and imaginative adventure, Joan Aiken takes Dido Twite to the Spice Islands in search of Lord Herodsfoot, wayward ambassador to King James the Third. Caught up in a political plot, Dido's party barely escapes murder, kidnap and sinister supernatural forces. The first book in the sequence, THE WOLVES OF WILLOUGHBY CHASE, is regarded as one of the great modern children's classics. Therefore a new novel from Joan Aiken is always a cause for celebration.
Industry Reviews
This addition to the 'James III Sequence' that began with The Wolves of Willoughby Chase is something to get excited about. It is rare these days to come across a novel of such weight and complexity of language published for children, but this substantial book is perfect for strong readers who like a challenge. The main character, Dido must search for one of the King's noblemen on a remote island and bring him back to England, travelling through the jungle, avoiding the deadly pearl-snakes and sting-monkeys that lie in wait. This story fits between The Stolen Lake and The Cuckoo Tree, but can be read happily on its own. (12 yrs +) (Kirkus UK)
