Book Synopsis
1832 - a period of English History that never happened. Good King James III is on the throne and the country is ravaged by wolves which have migrated through the newly-opened Channel Tunnel. When Sylvia and Bonnie (both orphans) fall into the hands of evil Miss Slighcarp, they must use all their wits to escape unscathed - for the governess is more cruel and merciless than the wolves that surround the great house of Willoughby Chase.

Trade Review
A wild and evocative fantasy, stylishly told, with a tremendous romantic appeal * Observer *
Altogether an invigorating book, in whihc the wit and nonsense make such a sparkling fizz together that it is hard to tell one from the other * Times Literary Supplement *
One genuine small masterpiece. Almost a copy-book lesson in those virtues that a classic children's book must possess * Time Magazine *
Joan Aiken is a marvel -- Philip Pullman * Guardian *
