Spiggot's Quest

Knights of Liofwende #1

by Garry Kilworth

Faerieland. It's like a reflection of your world... a warped reflection. And Jack has just stumbled right into it - with a whole lot of trouble on his tail. Trolls, goblins, ogres and giants ... all after one thing. But Jack's got no clue what. He needs some allies, like now. A wizard maybe. Or a High Fairy. Someone who can do serious magic. Someone who can help him get home. Anyone. Just not a dreamy young boggart named Spiggot...

Reviews

[Abi Cook · Rating 5 out of 5]

An odd book with a weird taste to it - I liked it!

[Adamperrott · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my faves, Spiggot dreams of being a fairy knight, but boggarts are lowly folk whose skill is in their use of hammer against anvil, not sword against shield. Resigned to a life in the forge, Spiggot's father Gnomon asks him to deliver brand new fairy armour to the king, Spiggot begins a quest that will change his life forever. Boggarts, swords, princesses, evil wizards, a quest through Faeryland and a talking water rat. What's not to like?

I liked this book, it was creative and a quick read that I didn't want to put down until I'd finished. Definitely interested in reading the rest of the trilogy and more books by this author.
