UNREAD 2021 One Line Books (UK) hardcover (blue boards; gold foil text) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, printing not provided, assumed first. B&W illustrations and DJ by the Author. Decorated end pages. Chapter Decorations. CONTENT: When 12-year-old year old Jack Joliffe is summoned to St. James's Palace to become a Royal Keeper, no one is more surprised than SHE. Hidden deep underground Jack discovers a secret world of dragons and fairies, jabberwocks and ghosts. . . and in a lonely tower a sickly prince the same age as her, who never wants to be king. . . There are lives to be saved, dragons to be slain, ancient magic to be outwitted, and games of Jackernapes to be won. Join Jack as she tells her amazing adventure from the bottom of the palace to the top, and beyond . . . Review by Jane Mac: "The story is set just round the corner from Hatchards at St James’s Palace and on the endpapers there is a map of the palace, which seems to have vaults, a Royal Beast Yard and several towers (apparently the map is unofficial and therefore the palace is probably not as interesting in real life). Inside there are more wonderful illustrations throughout the text; I have to admit I’m firmly with Alice on the matter of pictures and conversation in books. So far, so good, but what of the story? It is brilliant. Gripping, funny, a little frightening and so good you think you are in Jack’s world. It’s very like ours but with slight differences; there’s an oliphant (yes, that’s right, it’s subtly different to an elephant), a lot of mysterious people, some appalling baddies and a buttercup-eating dragon. I became so engrossed in the story that when I cycled past St James’s Palace on my way to work at Hatchards I actually looked for a rabbit wearing blue britches and a patchwork jacket. I cannot recommend it highly enough." 575 pages. Ages 9 - 12. + YA. Shipping via USPS media mail within 2 days of order. All books clean. Questions welcome & answered.
