I Was a Rat! Or, The Scarlet Slippers and The Scarecrow and his Servant
āI was a rat!ā So insists a scruffy boy named Roger. Maybe itās true, but what is he now? A terrifying monster running wild in the sewers?Ā The Daily ScourgeĀ is sure of it. A victim of āRodent Delusionā? The hospital nurse says yes. A lucrative fairground attraction? He is to Mr. Tapscrew. Or is Roger just an ordinary little boy? Only three people believe this version of the story, and it may take a royal interventionāand a bit of magicāto convince everyone
else. A playful parody of the press,Ā I Was a Rat!Ā is a magical weaving of humour, fairy tale, and adventure.
When, inĀ A Scarecrow and His Servant,Ā a bolt of lightning brings Scarecrow to life, he proves to be a courteous but pea-brained fellow with grand ideas. He meets a boy, Jack, who becomes his faithful servant and the two embark upon a terrifying series of adventuresāincluding battles, brigands, broken hearts, and treasure islands. But little does the Scarecrow know that he is being followed by a family who desperately wishes heād never sprung to life.
Two stories of myth, magic and adventure from the master teller of tales.
