      And this is where our story really begins. Set between England and the wintry land of Liminus, a world enslaved by the monstrous Gamp and populated by fearsome, enchanting creatures, D (Tale of Two Worlds) is a mesmerising tale of friendship and bravery in an uncertain world.

      NEIL GAIMAN: ''Glorious. A story that will be found and enjoyed and dreamed about for years to come''
      A celebration of friendship, courage and imagination inspired by Alice in Wonderland, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Wizard of Oz.
      __________________________
      It all starts on the morning the letter D disappears from the language.
      First, it vanishes from her parents'' conversation at breakfast, then from the road signs outside. Soon the local dentist and the neighbour''s Dalmatian are missing, and even the Donkey Derby has been called off.

      Though she doesn''t know why, Dhikilo is summoned to the home of her old history teacher Professor Dodderfield and his faithful Labrador, Nelly Robinson. And this is where our story really begins.

      Set between England and the wintry land of Liminus, a world enslaved by the monstrous Gamp and populated by fearsome, enchanting creatures, D (Tale of Two Worlds) is a mesmerising tale of friendship and bravery in an uncertain world. Told with simple beauty and warmth, its celebration of moral courage and freethinking is a powerful reminder of our human capacity for strength, hope and justice.
      ''Dhikilo is a splendid heroine for our time: She stands for kindness, honesty and humanity'' DIANE SETTERFIELD
      ''Young adult readers will love it, but Faber''s brio and bubbly ingenuity will delight adult readers too.'' Daily Mail
