Books with author Robin Jarvis

Two children, Jennet and Ben, arrive at the seaside town of Whitby to stay with Alice Boston, a vigorous and eccentric 92 year-old. Ben is gifted with the sight - he alone can see things hidden from the eyes of ordinary mortals. He sees the mysterious fisher folk of Whitby and he soon discovers that Alice Boston and her friends are not quite what they seem. Who are they? Any why does a mysterious black hound stalk the darkened streets?

Robin Jarvis's latest creation is a world set in an alternate past - in a genre that can only be described as Scyence Fyctione! This strangely familiar Britain consists of ninety-three individual 'blessed isles' floating in the deep darkness and the story begins in December in the Gloriana Kalendar, when Elizabeth Tudor has reigned for one hundred and seventy-eight years. Into this world - a place with no animals and little technology - comes a stranger, Brindle. No one knows where he's from, or how he's arrived. But he brings strange implements and practices, and he's about to change things forever
