Summary

Fly into a fiery and fantastical future with No. 1 bestselling author David Walliams, in an epic adventure of myth and legend, good and evil, and one small boy who must save the world…

It is 2120 and London is in ruins.

The young Prince Alfred has never known a life outside Buckingham Palace – but when strange goings-on breach its walls and stalk the corridors in the dead of night, he is thrust into a world of mystery, adventure and monsters.

And when his mother, the Queen, is dragged away to the Tower of London, Alfred must screw up his courage and battle to save her, himself… and the entire city.

In a future of myths and legends, join the bestselling David Walliams and venture forth into his most enthralling tale yet!

horrible histories meets harry potter

i will start by saying that I'm in my 40's.... and i have no children. i occasionally escape my humdrum life with a simple fantasy book where i can just let my mind wander and on this occasion i was delighted the book i chose. i have never been fond of walliams nor his humour however this book was exciting, very funny and full of non-stop adventure. i went through it in a single sitting and will be looking at other books of his in future.
the reading was great, each voice was perfect for their part.

Great storytelling

We absolutely loved this story which we listened to in the car with our grandchildren. So easy to pick up each time we restarted because the acting and story were so memorable! Thank you
