About this title

Synopsis

Enter a spellbinding world brimming with magic and wonder, perfect for fans of Nevermoor, A Pinch of Magic and Harry Potter.

'Wildly inventive . . . full of laugh-out-loud humour, enchanting magic and rebellious hope. I loved it' Catherine Doyle

Cordelia comes from a long line of magical milliners, who weave alchemy and enchantment into every hat.

In Cordelia's world, Making - crafting items such as hats, cloaks, watches, boots and gloves from magical ingredients - is a rare and ancient skill, and only a few special Maker families remain.

But life as a magical milliner isn't without its difficulties . . .

When Cordelia's father Prospero and his ship, the Jolly Bonnet, are lost at sea during a mission to collect hat ingredients, Cordelia is determined to find him. But her Uncle Tiberius and Aunt Ariadne have no time to help the littlest Hatmaker, for an ancient rivalry between the Maker families is threatening to surface.

Even worse, someone seems to be using Maker magic to start a war. It's up to Cordelia to find out who, and why . . .

Beautifully illustrated throughout by Paola Escobar.

'Imaginative . . . entertaining, comical and breezy, and the settings are conjured in transporting detail' The Times

'An utterly charming adventure full of wildness, wit, magic and heart' Anna James

'Absolutely wonderful' Emma Carroll

'A cosy magical adventure peppered with charming detail' The Bookseller

About the Author

Tamzin grew up in Australia, South Africa and Dubai before moving to England in her early teens, where she finally discovered the season of winter.

She has been an actor since the age of 17, when she played the part of Georgiana Darcy in the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Since then, her acting work has taken her around the world and on a journey through time. She has been a Tudor, a Victorian and a Jacobean. She survived the Blitz in 1940 and succumbed to pneumonia in Edwardian times. She's been an alien, a witch, a doomed Queen and a rebel Scottish warrior. She has also written and directed several award-winning short films. Her latest role is as Imogen Spurnrose in Amazon's original series, Carnival Row.

Tamzin's first book is The Hatmakers.

Store Description

About Prelovedbooks - I am a small amateur collector selling a small number of books. I specialize in modern first editions (first printing in most cases), especially signed by the author and mainly UK editions which make ideal imaginative birthday and Christmas presents - such as Michael Morpurgo's War Horse signed directly to the book, not a bookplate. To me, a signed copy means the author has handled and added a little more of themself to that particular book when they would never generally see the vast majority that go on sale. I personally like signed UK crime and thrillers from older authors such as Frederick Forsyth, Jack Higgins, from current authors Lee Child and Robert Harris which also make great Xmas presents for Dads and Grandads! I am buying some new books for resale from authors I consider collectable, and books that hopefully will only increase in value. I also buy at auction houses, book fairs, or occasionally over the internet, so these books are almost never new, but I try and sell only books in very good or fine condition. I also have a few signed autobiographies and some odd items such as signed cinema posters. I have a number of signed books for sale by authors such as Billy Connolly, David Attenborough, Philip Pullman, Bill Bryson, Julia Donaldson and Gerald Durrell amongst many others. I strive to be honest with a book's description as I would expect to be in return and I will pack and send securely. As a book lover I understand the joy of safely receiving a much wanted book in good condition. As a buyer my real pet hate is signed books offered for sale with a stock photo of the cover only - so essentially I'm buying something blind? Is it really that much effort to add a photo of the signature? That's why I'll always have photos of the actual signed books I have to offer on AbeBooks. Thank you for reading and please check out all my signed books. You never know!

Terms of Sale:

I will always try to ship orders within 2 business days unless I am away in which case a return email will give my expected return date.
