Synopsis

Third hilarious title in this brilliant new series by Keith Brumpton. Champion charioteer, Scalectrix, is having problems keeping pole position in the Formula One style chariot racing contest. Is it just a case of dodgy driving? Or is someone throwing a spanner in the works? The race is on for Antonius Pantonius and his detective partner in crime, Cora Decorum, to track down the truth. An exciting new detective/mystery series, written in an entertaining Raymond Chandler style. Every page features hilarious cartoon-style illustrations, all cleverly integrated with the text making it accessible to even the most reluctant readers. Rome and Away brings history to life with its zany, appealing characters and humorous contemporary references.
