What would you do if you found a tunnel beneath your shed? What if you knew it led to a whole other world? And, what if a dragon lived there ... with two heads?

Professor Oddney has no doubts, he must find The Two-Headed Firedrake! Armed with his late Uncle Cuthbert's journal of mysterious creatures, the retired naturalist and his loyal friend Magnus, the talking magpie, embark on one crazy adventure in Otherland. Will they find the formidable beast? Not if the mad, the bad and the downright weird buttock-snapping inhabitants of this world have anything to do about it.

A beautifully presented hardback. Perfect for readers age 7 plus, this humour-filled fantasy adventure, with 68 stunning illustrations to pour over by internationally acclaimed fantasy illustrator Rodney Matthews, has an undeniable appeal that will satisfy the whole family. A character driven tale with themes of kindness and friendship aplenty.
