Doctor Cuddles of Giggle Glade

Muddle Earth Trilogy #3

by Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell

Brenda the Warrior-Princess and her pink sabre-toothed cat Sniffy are back in Muddle Earth, and they've had enough of adventuring. All they want is a nice, boring wizard to work for--and it looks like they've come to the right place... Meanwhile, Joe is desperate to depart for Elfwood, to retrieve the Great Book of Spells, but first he has to get Randalf to leave the house. The wizard swears he set the clock for an early departure, but the clock-elf has gone AWOL, so how will he ever get organised? And it's not just the clock-elf that's taken an unexpected holiday--from Goblintown to Trollbridge and the Enchanted Lake, every elf in Muddle Earth has decided to go on vacation... What is going on? And can Joe put it right?

A lovely and great addition to the trilogy. A must read if you like the quirky and fantastical imagination of Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell.

Den sjoveste i serien, med virkelig mange referencer til klassiske fantasy serier

[Mladoria · Rating 4 out of 5]

Et voilà que s'achève cette première trilogie dans l'univers du Marais qui pue. J'ai encore une fois bien rigolé avec ce tome devant les ruades de Randalf, les piques de Veronica, la véritable nature de l'Abominable Docteur Calinou. le nouveau personnage de Brenda la princesse guerrière (quelle référence) est assez irrésistible. Encore un tome très riche en références culturelles détournées (peu accessibles aux jeunes lecteurs mais succulentes pour les adultes). L'humour est toujours très enfantin mais mignonnet. le rythme est assez soutenu même si le démarrage prend du temps (la faute au peureux Randalf).
Le dénouement est très bien amené et permet une véritable fin de cycle. J'ai hâte de découvrir ce que donnera la trilogie suivante dans cet univers. Une chouette lecture de fantasy jeunesse pour ceux qui veulent se détendre et faire une lecture amusante.
