Publisher's Synopsis
A fantastical adventure set deep in the bowels of the Earth in another world, the world of the ancient and long-lived Snurdles, the magical Norwegian Forest Cats, fearsome fire spiders and the six-legged Alogosei.
Driven into the wilderness of the high Himalayas by humans, the Snurdles are sought out by King Machitis of Atlantis and taken to that fabled isle to utilise their abilities.
Barely escaping Atlantis sinking into the ocean, they undertake an epic and dangerous journey across the sea and Antarctica where they almost perish, until they find an entrance to their hidden world.
Since that ancient time the Snurdles have secretly helped humanity with their love and intelligence, trying to save our world so that theirs survives too. They search for children with the potential to save it, all the while preserving literature, art, knowledge and culture in their vast caverns underground.
This is a story for all children who worry about the future. There is no need. They are never far from a Snurdle.
