In the fourth book in the Princelings of the East series, Lord Mariusz of Hattan narrates, in his own Chandler-esque style, how he came to explore the world on the end of the time tunnel, and why he adopted the pseudonym Hugo in the first place.
In the Princelings world of 2001 we meet old friends as their much younger selves. You think Victor is cute? You should see him eight years younger – “a bundle of flying legs and hair”! Prince Lupin is much as he ever is, but Baden has yet to escape the succession wars at Castle Powell. Saku is, of course, well established as Lord Mariusz’s ingenious professor at Castle Hattan, but we find he knows more about the workings of time than we imagined. The Honourable Smallweed is only getting started on the trail of deceit and meanness that will characterise all his future dealings. And we journey to new places, Sowerby, Powell, and a strange city full of females, hidden in a forest. We also discover that stories of ghouls, ghosts, vampires and werewolves are not just tales to frighten children after all.
The Traveler in Black and White is suitable for tweens and teens up to the age of one hundred or so.
"This book has plenty of elements to entertain the reader. From the main character Hugo (did I say he was charming), to his efficient assistant Willow, to the shady characters he encounters. Throw in some castles, murder and vampires and I think you'll agree its an exciting mix." S W Lothian, author of The Quest Series
" I enjoyed this intricately woven tale very much. Ms Pett has a way of developing the intrigue so well that I found myself reading fast just to get further in the story. ... I love this kind of noir first person style. It reads smooth like chocolate." Julie Anne Grasso, author of the Caramel Cardamom series

When Jemima found a little booklet she'd written when she was eight in the box in which her mother kept her most precious possessions, Jemima realised she’d always been writing. She never thought of herself as an author until she discovered a strong plot and set of characters, inspired by her guinea pigs. Fred, George, Victor and Hugo had personalities and stories that needed to be told. So the years of training for and working in office jobs, writing newsletters and event reports in the evenings, of travelling round the country and wondering what it would be like to live in different places, of day dreaming of exciting adventures and reading books like they were going out of fashion finally came to a halt. She started writing. First came The Princelings of the East, which was always intended as a trilogy, with the second and third books titled before they had a plot! Then another book was needed, which turned out to be Hugo’s back-story, since he hadn’t had enough exposure in the trilogy. Then Victor wanted to be the star of his own book... and so it goes on.
