Books with title The Muselings

Three adventurous orphans from a quiet village in England fall UP a tree... and find themselves in a world where furry woodland creatures speak to one another in song. They become honoured guests of the beautiful and clever Queen Jess, but get involved in a struggle between her people and the rebellious singing Muselings. What are the secrets behind the Queen's industrial empire and the mysterious flowers so fiercely guarded by the terrible crow monster, Ahab? How is kindly old Elias from their village involved in all this? Was their journey an accident, or was it destiny that brought them here? And who can be trusted? This is a fast-paced tale packed with adventure and humour.

One day three scruffy children from an orphanage in an English village have a surprise. Rachel, Robert and Alice fall UP a tree into another world! Why have they been brought into the land that scheming Queen Jess calls her own? The Queen and the children would both like to know, and as they try to find out, they stumble into hilarious and hair-raising adventures. Here we meet Lord Lrans, mad about fox-hunting; the Reverend Elias, beloved but misunderstood vicar; Ballbody, a round, bouncy fellow. . . and the Muselings - kind, furry creatures whose world the children have fallen into. And there is Queen Jess's husband Ahab, transformed into a flying bird-like and rat-like creature, blood-red and sharp-clawed, as high as a large shed and as long as two cars. Then Reverend Elias faces Queen Jess on a hilltop, and everything changes.
