A collection of seven shorter tales, ideal for bedtime stories or just a short read. The book answers some unanswered questions from the previous stories, and introduces us to some new characters who will become significant later. We learn just how Black Whiskers set a course for a life of piracy, and what became of Captain Silk after the sinking of 'The River Prince.' We also discover how Sederic discovered his surgical skill and just how his feud with Gander began. We meet a very young Robustus of the Roes, and find out how he became chief at such a young age. As well as these familiar characters we also meet a sleepy sheep, a raging roaster and two very clever jackdaws. Ingenious Beasties has been carefully written to introduce new readers to the world of Wingtangleshire, as well as expanding on previous storylines and preparing the ground for future tales. As such each of the stories in this book make sense even if you haven't read the other books.
