Dido Twite, heroine of Black Hearts in Battersea and Nightbirds on Nantucket is on her wildest adventure yet. On her way back to London aboard the Thrush, Dido and the crew are summoned to the aid of the tyrannical queen of New Cumbria. Her island is an infernal place where birds carry off men and fish eat human flesh. The queen is greatly distressed because a neighbouring king has stolen her lake. Dido faces fire, flood, wild beasts and, ultimately, threat of execution to get the lake back. Is she equal to the challenge?
A rich mixture of legend, fantasy, humour and pure snowballing adventure.
'Joan Aiken is a natural storyteller with the gift of endless and usually comic invention'. John Rowe Townsend, Guardian.
'The Stolen Lake is zanier and more devilishly fiendish than ever'. New York Times.
