About this ebook

George and Edie are travelling through unLondon, a world of danger on the city streets, and they are quite alone.
Time is standing still, and the rest of London is unaware of their plight, unaware of the hidden world of living statues, of Shackleton and the Queen of Time.


In the concluding part of the breathtaking and critically acclaimed Stoneheart trilogy, Edie and George look deeper into Edie's past, and her future.

Ratings and reviews

I got all three of these books on audio, books 1 and two where read by Charlie fletcher and absolutely brilliant books, book 3 was read by Jim dale and the story is still fantastic, it was slightly spoilt being read by Jim dale as he read them as he felt was as it was, he gave Edie a Scottish accent, which three me a little. I think that is why book three is hard to get on audio. I personally think the author should have read all three books, especially as he read books 1 and 2 and in the way they should have been, as wrote them.

About the author

Having studied English Literature at university , Charlie began his career in the film business carrying cans of film round Soho and making very bad cups of tea on the principal that he`d then be asked to do something a bit more interesting, a strategy that he recommends to anyone starting out as a tea-boy. He progressed to the BBC where he worked in film editing on everything from Drama to Current Affairs.

He then went to California where he morphed into a screenwriter, having been awarded a Warner Brothers Fellowship in Screenwriting at USC School of Cinema and TV. He`s written screenplays for Tri-Star, MGM, Paramount and Warner Bros among others. He continues to write for the movies, and also television. He still thinks that being a film editor is a pretty damn fine way to learn about story-telling in general, and narrative structure and pacing in particular.

Charlie also moved into other types of writing including magazine features, a computer game and as both a national Sunday newspaper columnist and restaurant reviewer. Finally he found the way to combine all those writing strands and produced some rattling-good children`s books!

The Stoneheart trilogy has been a massive international hit and Charlie has recently sold the movie rights of Stoneheart to Paramount. He has also been asked to write the screenplay himself, which just shows you should never make plans, since he actually wrote the books to get away from Hollywood for a bit...

In his personal life, Charlie met and married his wife, a fellow Scot, in LA. They have two children, whom Charlie calls his first, most important, and toughest audience. They`ve all now returned from California and live in Edinburgh with a terrier called Archie.
