'A history-tragic-comedy all rolled into one,' says Wolf Hall author Hilary Mantel, 'An enthralling puzzle-picture of a book' (M.R. Carey), perfect for fans of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell and Gormenghast with a dash of Neil Gaiman and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Twelve children, gifted far beyond their years, banished by their queen and given sanctuary at Rotherweird. Some say they are the golden generation; some say the devil's spawn. But everyone knows there is something to be revered - and feared.

Four and a half centuries on, the town of Rotherweird is still bound by the Elizabethan laws that keep it isolated from the rest of England, any study of its past forbidden.

Then an Outsider arrives: a man of unparallelled wealth and power, enough to buy the town of Rotherweird - deep-buried secrets and all . . .
Industry Reviews
A history-tragic-comedy all rolled into one, Rotherweird is intricate and crisp, witty and solemn: a book not unlike other books, but with special and dangerous properties. Line by line, silent and adroit, it opens a series of trap-doors in the reader's imagination - Hilary Mantel, two-time Man Booker prize winner

Baroque, Byzantine and beautiful - not to mention bold. An enthralling puzzle picture of a book - M R Carey, author of the bestselling The Girl With All The Gifts

An imaginative tour de force - The Times

Compelling . . . the love child of Gormenghast and Hogwarts. - the Guardian

Sublime . . . Call me greedy, but I'm already itching to return to Caldecott's universe. - The Irish Times

One of this year's most anticipated debut novels - SFX

This novel is a remarkable achievement. It's also extremely funny, in a typically British sort of way . . . a delightful Harry Potter for grown ups - Sunday Independent

Truly, sinisterly magical. 10/10 - Starburst
