Tilda’s former best friend Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer, and  she has retreated into herself, preparing for the inevitable. Suddenly facing down a death that makes her the same as everyone else, she longs to connect again but doesn’t quite know where to start. Reaching out to her former best friend Tilda seems like a good first step. Then Tilda is found dead and accusations start circling that Simon is the killer.

This book contains Count Dracula''s rather true memoirs. And there are tons of hideous creatures in it. Giant yetis, insidious werewolves, slimy fish monsters... You might learn things you didn''t know about monsters before. Hair-raising things that make these monsters appear friendly, even downright human. So, take my advice, you only have one chance: put the book down quickly and move on before you get caught in its clutches! But if you do read this book, you will be enchanted by the incredibly imaginative full-colour illustrations throughout, the fabulously appealing cover, and the original wit captured within.

But dangers lurk there, too: the outlaw Robin Hood soon catches them and takes them prisoner. As the newly dubbed Little John gets an education in how to fit into Robin''s dangerous band, Marian, too, grows into a force to be reckoned with.
