The Princelings and the Pirates

Beschreibung

The second book of the Princelings of the East series finds Fred and George enjoying their studies and projects in Castle Buckmore. But when the Prince announces his unhappiness with the wine, they set off to discover what has gone wrong at the winery. They face capture by pirates, shipwreck, and treachery at their home castle, after which our heroes are drawn into the Battle of Dimerie, where Fred meets his true love and George gets more than he bargained for. This is an exciting adventure in our strange world of kings and castles, where progress is just around the corner. It will appeal to boys and girls alike, with the rescue of a spunky princess making a welcome addition to the key characters. The Princelings and the Pirates is suitable for good readers aged 10 and upwards.

Autor

Jemima Pett has been living in a world of her own for many years. Writing stories since she was eight, drawing maps of fantasy islands with train systems and timetables at ten. Unfortunately no-one wanted a fantasy island designer, so she tried a few careers, getting great experiences in business, environmental research and social work. She finally got back to building her own worlds, and wrote about them. Her business background enabled her to become an independent author, responsible for her own publications.

Her first series, the Princelings of the East, mystery adventures for advanced readers set in a world of tunnels and castles entirely populated by guinea pigs, is now complete. The tenth and final book, Princelings Revolution, came out in October 2020. Jemima does chapter illustrations for these. She has also edited two volumes of Christmas stories for young readers, the BookElves Anthologies, and her father's memoirs White Water Landings, about the Imperial Airways flying boat service in Africa. She has compiled four collections of flash fiction tales, publishing in the first half of 2021. She is now writing the third in her science fiction series set in the Viridian System, in which the aliens include sentient trees.

Jemima lived in a village in Norfolk with her guinea pigs, the first of whom, Fred, George, Victor and Hugo, provided the inspiration for her first stories, The Princelings of the East. She is now living in Hampshire, writing science fiction for grown-ups, hatching plans for a new series, and writing more short stories for anthologies.
