Terrible Times: Book Three in the Eddie Dickens Trilogy - Tapa dura

Sailing on the Pompous Pig in his quest to reach North America, Eddie Dickens encounters a crazy cast of traveling companions on his journey and ends up sailing adrift on a leaking raft, wondering if he’ll ever make it to shore, in the third addition to the Eddie Dickens Trilogy. Children's BOMC. 75,000 first printing.

Philip Ardagh is over six feet seven inches tall with a big bushy beard. Not only is he very large and very hairy, but he has also written around sixty children's books for all ages, though nothing quite like the Eddie Dickens Trilogy. Currently living as a full-time writer with a wife and two cats in a seaside town somewhere in England, he has been-among other things-an advertising copywriter, a hospital cleaner, a (highly unqualified) librarian, and a reader for the blind.

David Roberts is so busy drawing pictures that no one is really sure what he looks like. We do know that he has illustrated several books for children and lives somewhere in England, but whether his home is near the sea or not is anybody's guess.
