Product Description
Sylver and his band of weasels take to the high seas in search of the humans who mysteriously deserted the land of Welkin many years ago. On their tail is the seasick Sheriff Falshed, commanded by the stoat rulers to stop Sylver at any cost. And if that's not bad enough, behind them is a ship crammed to the gunwales with bloodthirsty rats, convinced that Sylver is secretly hunting a pirate's treasure...
From the Author
Why I chose weasels as my heroes and heroines!Why weasels? Well, both weasels and stoats have always been the baddies in children's literature before now - especially in books like Wind-in-the-Willows, so I thought it was about time they had a chance to be the goodies. They are such beautiful creatures after all. They seem to flow over the ground when they travel. People rarely see them and think they are much larger than their actual size. The big guys are the martens, who have this wonderful creamy bib and fur which changes colour when the wind blows on it. Stoats, well, okay they're the badies here, but they're more humorous than evil. I really enjoyed writing about Sylver and his band of outlaws - especially Scirf, who became my favourite in the end - so I hope you like reading about them.
