No one knows the full story of Charlie Small. At least, not yet. His original battered journal was found washed up on a remote, windswept shore in the north of England. The second, encased in ice on a glacial plateau in the Himalayas. At first we thought they were part of some elaborate hoax. Surely no eight-year-old could have had so many wild adventures, witnessed so many extraordinary things, lived such an incredible life - and still only be eight. And yet ... there was something so vivid in the telling, that we were pursuaded, just enough, to send the journals and their boggling content for analysis.
The results were absolutely astonishing. And only one conclusion could be drawn. Everything in the journals of Charlie Small is true. He really has wrestled a deadly river croc, ridden a steam-powered rhino, been cabin boy for a band of desperate lady-pirates and tribal chief in a city of gorillas. And countless other things besides. And... not only that... even though Charlie Small is only eight, he must have lived for over fourhundred years!
Now, gentleman adventurer Nick Ward has tracked down a third instalment of Charlie's incredible life-story. The battered journal was found beneath the seat of a bus shelter in Pimlico. Passed into the hands of a collector of dubious repute, it took swift work from Nick to prevent the story vanishing forever. Fans of Charlie, old and new, will be so glad he did, because this book is an action-packed ripsnorter!
