Oddney's Otherland: Chronicles from Beneath the Shed - In Search of the Two-Headed Firedrake
What would you do if you found a tunnel beneath your shed? What if you knew it led to a whole other world? And what if that world might be home to a dragon ... with two heads?
Professor Clive Oddney has no doubts - he must investigate! Armed with his late Uncle Cuthbert's journal of mysterious creatures, the retired naturalist and his loyal friend Magnus, the talking magpie, embark on adventure into Otherland. Their quest? To seek out The Two-Headed Firedrake. Will they find it? Not if the mad, the bad and the downright weird buttock-snapping inhabitants of this world have anything to do about it.
A wonderfully wacky Rodney Matthews concept, brimming with his stunning illustrations and a fun-filled story by Sarah Matthews. Presented in hardback, and perfect as a gift book, this real family-friendly fantasy adventure is sure to capture the hearts of both young and old.
"you will LOVE the illustrations by my favourite artist, Rodney Matthews, and his DELICIOUSLY ZANY story, written with his very, very silly wife, Sarah"

Yendor - The Journey of a Junior Adventurer
Yendor may be small, but his dreams are big and his courage is mighty. Longing to be an adventurer like his father, he sets off into the wild country, alone.
Little does he know that his chosen path is a perilous one, filled with fantastical beasts that even the most seasoned adventurer would fear to cross - a Grumposaur, a Grabsting, a Killwing and the nastiest of them all, the Marauding Scrawnies!
To survive, he is going to need both skill and wit. To make it home again, is another matter altogether!
A simple tale of a young boy on a dream-like fantasy adventure. Perfect for a younger audience, an ideal bed-time story.
"a beautifully presented hardback - put together with great humour and understanding of what a young reader enjoys - and would make a lovely addition to any junior adventurer's bookcase"
