Produktbeschreibung
A backward land with castles in remote places, connected by tunnels and tracks, with occasional inns where travellers can rest. It seems idyllic, except for competition getting out of hand, and the great energy drain, that threatens every big event, disrupting their settled existence. Can our princelings, budding engineer George, and his twin brother, the thoughtful Fred, solve the mystery of the energy drain? Are the people they meet to be trusted? What is Hugo's secret? Is Prince Lupin really a playboy in disguise, or is he really the most important person in the land? And where, or perhaps the question is when, is the mysterious Castle of Hattan? The first book in the Princelings of the East series introduces the major players in this unique world, and sets the reader many puzzles as he or she keeps up with George and Fred's adventures. It's suitable for confident readers aged ten and upwards.
Autorenporträt
Jemima Pett has been living in a world of her own for many years. Writing stories since she was eight, drawing maps of fantasy islands with train systems and timetables at ten. Unfortunately no-one wanted a fantasy island designer, so she tried a few careers, getting great experiences in business, environmental research and social work. She finally got back to building her own worlds, and wrote about them. Her business background enabled her to become an independent author, responsible for her own publications.

Her first series, the Princelings of the East, mystery adventures for advanced readers set in a world of tunnels and castles entirely populated by guinea pigs, is now complete. The tenth and final book, Princelings Revolution, came out in October 2020. Jemima does chapter illustrations for these. She has also edited two volumes of Christmas stories for young readers, the BookElves Anthologies, and her father's memoirs White Water Landings, about the Imperial Airways flying boat service in Africa. She has compiled four collections of flash fiction tales, publishing in the first half of 2021. She is now writing the third in her science fiction series set in the Viridian System, in which the aliens include sentient trees.

Jemima lived in a village in Norfolk with her guinea pigs, the first of whom, Fred, George, Victor and Hugo, provided the inspiration for her first stories, The Princelings of the East. She is now living in Hampshire, writing science fiction for grown-ups, hatching plans for a new series, and writing more short stories for anthologies.
