The Headless Highwayman

The Headless Highwayman

Book 1: Grim & Grimmer Quartet

The Fey Queen, Emajicka, is stealing the children of Grimmery for her Collection. She bathes in their nightmares to relieve her own. There is one nightmare she wants most of all.

If Ike had stayed home that Tuesday, he would not have been expelled from school, betrayed a princess or robbed a murderous queen. He would not have been tied to an insane imp desperate to eat his liver. He certainly would not have floated across a strange land on an impossible rescue mission, powered by exploding manure. Nor would he have tried to escape via that disastrous troll-bum door.

But can he ever escape the Nightmare Queen?

Available in ebook and paperback editions. Ebook box set and omnibus print edition (all 4 books) also available.

What people are saying...

“The Headless Highwayman is the first book in the Grim and Grimmer series from fantasy genius Ian Irvine, who manages to create a world which is believable, thrilling and funny all rolled into one.”

Aussiereviews.com

“Entertainingly written in an energetic, descriptive style. An extraordinary fantasy world. Fast and furious and very funny.”

Reading Time

“Irvine has great fun creating his world . Funny and fast-paced, Ike’s story reads briskly, leavened with a little horror and a dash of scatological humour. A fun adventure for upper-primary readers. Recommended.”
