‘A new contender to the crown of thriller supremo.’
Manchester Evening News
Mr Wolf and the White Princess
‘What a crazy rollercoaster of a book! It was a wonderful, bizarre hybrid of fairytale and Orwellian dystopia… I was very fond of Mr Wolf.’
Kate Bradley, Editor, Granta Books.
Mr Wolf is a licentious rake. Against his will and better judgement he gets swept up with the White Princess in the battle of fun and beauty against the Raven and the forces of boredom and ugliness.
Set in a distorted modern London, the story is high-concept Bond meets Snow White. Mr Wolf and the White Princess must race against time as they fight to avert the Raven’s evil plan for destruction. But can they also resolve the mysterious chemistry between them?
If you like Neil Gaiman, Jasper Fforde or Douglas Adams, you’ll love this.
