Promotion infoWho can you rely on to deliver a priceless diamond to an undeserving heiress? ANYONE BUT IVY POCKET! Fans of Lemony Snicket - your new hero awaits ReviewsA wonderfully entertaining heroine' Financial Times Exuberantly told with apt and wildly witty caricatures from John Kelly, it has a fun, original voice Sunday Times Praise from bloggers: "an exuberant, lively, enthusiastic, mysterious, playful, layered and most of all highly enjoyable read!" Children's Book Chat; "a delight; a laugh-out-loud cobweb of intrigue and mystery with a Dickensian feel, a dash of fantasy, and a heroine like no other" Space on the Bookshelf; "Funny, morbid and entertaining...a hilariously bizarre protagonist who will definitely make you laugh" The Bibliomanicac; "This story absolutely blew me away" What Lexie Loves Author descriptionCaleb Krisp was raised by militant librarians who fed him a constant diet of nineteenth century literature and room-temperature porridge. He graduated from the University of Sufferance with a degree in Whimsy and set out to make his mark in the world as a writer. Years of toil and failure followed, until, following a brief stint working in a locked box, Caleb moved to an abandoned cottage deep in the woods and devoted himself to writing about the adventures of a twelve-year-old lady's maid of no importance. Caleb has a strong dislike of pastry chefs and certain domesticated rabbits. His only communication with the outside world is via morse code or kettle drum. He trusts no one. |
