Publisher's Synopsis
Grubdale in the year 1912 - a quaint Victorian town nestled high among the sheep and turnips of Northern England, boasting a regiment of Rifles, the Zoological Gardens and the most expensive and grandest of hotels this side of the viaduct. But all is not as it seems. The hotel is overflowing with spies and the latest addition to the Zoological Gardens has eaten all the exhibits, breathes fire when it sneezes and is demanding to be called 'Your Majesty' when spoken to. All of this is as nothing to the goings on up the hill at Grubdale Towers, a ramshackle school for orphans where a bad tin of sardines has created the perfect opportunity for a certain witch and her pink 'poodle' Demetrios, to take up teaching and set education back 300 years. So while the rest of the Sisterhood continue their search for the great wyrms of legend, Rowena Carp begins her new career as a teacher of horrid little boys, and one horrid little boy in particular - Hieronymous Bede, the last Prince of Wyrm. 'Educating Creatures' - the second instalment of 'The Trouble with Wyrms' comedy recounting the exploits of a group of witches in Edwardian Britain as they search for peace, love and 'The Stately Wyrms of England, ' and a good gin and tonic
