Now something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. A department that doesn't even officially exist. Especially when you work in a department of two.

This book helps parents to harness the power of play, join kids in their world, and use it as a powerful parenting tool for dealing with everything from discipline to sibling rivalry to building confidence and overcoming fears.

However, I can point to the mythical land of medieval beasts that Prester John converts to Christianity, the events of the first book that make John their king, how he becomes immortal, loves, has a family, and how all these beasts just humor him good-naturedly.
