The tyrannous Huntsmen have declared everyone in one village to be outlaws, since they insist on supporting the magical beings of neighbouring Darkwood. Why wont they accept that magic is an abomination?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFar from being abominable, the residents of Darkwood are actually very nice when you get to know them, even Snow the White Knight, who can get a bit tetchy when people remind her shes a Princess.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn order to stop the Huntsmen from wiping out all magical beings, Snow and her friends have to venture into the Badlands of Ashtrie, and seek the support of the Glass Witch - but she has plans of her own, and lets just say theyre not good ones.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPraise for Gabby Hutchinson Crouch:\r\nGabby is one of the funniest writers I know. Sarah Millican\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n...very funny. If you like Terry Pratchett, or think gothic fairytales should have more LOLs, tis the book for ye. Greg Jenner\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI have read this and it is great. Pratchetty fun for all the family. Lucy Porter\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n...magical, surprising and funny. Jan Ravens\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat people are saying about the Darkwood series:\r\nClever and funny and so very very entertaining. I would encourage everyone of every age to go ahead and read Darkwood.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCompletely fabulous, cant wait for the rest of the series.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA fun, exciting, action-packed story that once I started reading I couldnt put down.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI loved the mix of humour and fantasy, the tongue in cheek style of writing and the quirky characters.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI could go on and on about how much I love this book and why.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA delightful new mashup of old familiar fairy tale characters and themes, with loads of originality and memorable characters. ... I think this may well turn into one of my all-time favourites.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n...incredible! It made me laugh out loud in several places, but also managed to pull off some intricate themes around power and bigotry - I adored the characters and the fun, genre-savvy writing.
