The Ogre of Oglefort

Bored orphan Ivo is delighted to be the Hag of the Dribble's new familiar, especially when they're sent off on a quest to rescue a princess from the Ogre of Oglefort. But when Ivo arrives in Oglefort, he discovers it's the princess tormenting the Ogre, not the other way around .

Armour up, grab your sword and prepare for a quirky and unexpected Ogre-battling adventure! But is the Ogre really the enemy? The incomparable Eva Ibbotson spins a quirky, original twist on a fairy-tale quest with deliciously whimsical interior illustrations by Becka Moor

When the prophetic Norns send a Hag, an orphan boy called Ivo, Ulf the troll and wizard Brian Brainsweller to rescue a princess from an ogre, the band of unlikely heroes briefly consider running away and hiding. Can they be any match for the gruesome, terrifying, ghastly, flesh-eating Ogre of Oglefort?

But not all is as it seems – the Ogre is depressed and the princess doesn't want to be rescued; she just wants to be turned into a bird.

The Norns decide to take things in hand and send a gang of the vilest, most petrifying ghouls to get the job done properly .
