Dido Twite on board a ship bound for England is waylaid by a search for Lord Herodsfoot on the tropical island of Aratu. Aratu means the Island of Pearl Snakes in the Dilendi language and a bite from one of them can do for you in a brace of shakes. That is only one of many hazards encountered by Dido as she searches for the lost Lord reputedly to be found in Limbo Lodge. For who can she trust as she tramps across the island- and when she finally approached the lodge it hardly seems to be welcoming. 'Limbo Lodge was sited at the edge of the forest line, among clumps of clove and djeela trees, in a kind of wild garden. Over to the eastern boundary of this, the ground seemed to come to an abrupt stop; here, Dido guessed, was the Cliff of Death...'

Industry Reviews

What I relish in particular is the swiftness of the telling, the vigour with which brilliant moments of perception seem to be improvised in the sheer delight of the onward rush of the story -- Philip Pullman * Guardian *
A writer of wild humour and unrestrained imagination * Oxford Companion to Children's Literature *
A consummate story teller * The Times *
This is a racy tale with plenty of disgusting details -- Orna Mulcahy * The Irish Times *
