Spring-heeled Jack Book

Philip Pullman is in fine fettle in this cracking little book--a rip-roaring, quick-witted adventure story of the very best kind, told in words and pictures. Here we have the stirring tale of three defenceless little orphans as they attempt to escape from the Alderman Cawn-Plaster Memorial Orphanage one dark and stormy London night . Closely watched by Mack the Knife and other such villainous villains, they weave their way across the dark and dangerous streets of the city in constant fear of being caught and returned to the care of the rancid Mr Killjoy and his horribly horrid assistant. Enter Spring Heeled Jack, the hooded superhero to beat all hooded superheroes, dressed like the devil and ready for action against the evil-doers and scallywags of the city's dark streets. A boisterous, daredevil tale that proves that the award-winning Pullman has certainly lost none of his magic touch. Great stuff.Read More
