The Russian Revolution. A fairy tale, a spy thriller, a love story. The life of a man during the last days of the Romanovs, magically imagined by the award-winning author Marcus Sedgwick. Nominated for the Costa Book Award for Children's Books. The story is set in the rich and atmospheric landscape of Russia during the revolution that caused upheaval around the world, and it is the partly true story of Arthur Ransome - a writer who was accused of being a spy. Marcus Sedgwick combines history with the life of a man, creating this innovative and stimulating three-part novel - a fairy tale full of wise and foolish kings, princesses, wishes, and magic; a gloomy and menacing spy thriller; and a love story.
