About the Author:
Review:
Joan Aiken, daughter of the American writer Conrad Aiken, was born in Rye, Sussex, England, and has written more than sixty books for children, including The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
“For all Joan Aiken fans who delight in her special brand of suspense and mystery, she has now concocted a parade of circumstances and characters resulting in a historical spoof that focuses on a wild scheme to foil the coronation of James IV.” Publishers Weekly
“Immensely exciting, weird, and funny, Miss Aiken is at her best.” --London Evening Standard
“The author is better at creating villains than anybody since Dickens.” — Time Magazine Time Magazine
