Review:
Joan Aiken's Wolves of Willoughby Chase saga has wooed thousands of readers, and Limbo Lodge fits into the saga between The Stolen Lake and The Cuckoo Tree. It is also an ingenious and wholly compelling read in its own right and once again proves that Joan Aiken is a mistress of the written word who can, with her limitless energy and imagination, draw her readers into a dazzling world of adventure that will quite simply leave them begging for more. (Ages 10 and over) --Susan Harrison

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In her best tradition of wild and imaginative adventure, Joan Aiken takes Dido Twite to the Spice Islands in search of Lord Herodsfoot, wayward ambassador to King James the Third. Caught up in a political plot, Dido's party barely escapes murder, kidnap and sinister supernatural forces. The first book in the sequence, THE WOLVES OF WILLOUGHBY CHASE, is regarded as one of the great modern children's classics. Therefore a new novel from Joan Aiken is always a cause for celebration. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002880749
