Synopsis

In the third instalment of the Eddie Dickens saga, our hero finds himself en route to North America with some of the most disreputable prospectors anyone might have the misfortune to share a berth with . . . only to come face to face with some familiar faces (stuffed animal and human) from his past, and with the Great Gretcha who suffers from serious bouts of sleeping sickness.

About this title

Review:

'Full of daft digressions and bizarre facts, Ardagh's burlesque humour is entertaining and has won him many fans.' -- Waterstone's Books Quarterly

From the Author:

If this is the first Eddie Dickens book you've come across, DON'T PANIC!!! Each book is a self-contained adventure. For those of you who have come with me and Eddie all the way from Awful End to here, though, I hope you've enjoyed the ride. A number of readers - okay, a lot of readers - have asked why this is the last Eddie Dickens book and why I'm not going to write any more. The last Eddie Dickens book? Says who? This may be the last of the trilogy, but what's to stop me writing some 'further adventures' some day? You know, I get the feeling I might just do that. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy Terrible Times. (Philip Ardagh, England, 2002)
