About this ebook

When a Hag, an orphan boy and a troll called Ulf get sent to rescue a princess from an ogre, they expect it to be a fairly standard magical mission. But the ogre is depressed, the princess doesn't want to be rescued - and the ogre's dead wife is turning in her grave.

The Norns who rule their fates decide to take things in hand - will the Ogre meet a bloody end, or will he get a happy ending?

About the author

Eva Ibbotson writes for both adults and children. Born in Vienna, she now lives in the north of England. Her husband was a naturalist who taught her to value even the smallest and most unattractive animal – and her four children and seven grandchildren showed her that ghosts, wizards and witches are people like ourselves 'only madder and more interesting'. She has written eight other ghostly adventures for children.
