Here Be Monsters. Part 2. Man In The Iron Socks

Arthur and his rat and pirate friends are on a mission - to save the kidnapped underlings and to thwart Snatcher's evil plans. But do they dare venture into the sinister Cheese Hall itself? And if they do, what - and who - will they find there? With nearly two hundred incredible black and white drawings, this is the second part of this astonishing illustrated journey into the unbelievably weird world of Ratbridge.

Welcome to Ratbridge. But beware -- for there is skulduggery afoot. Young Arthur has fallen foul of the appalling outlaw, Snatcher, and is trapped alone in the town with every way home sealed. Meanwhile Snatcher and his men are working tirelessly in secret on a fiendish and dastardly plan to take over -- and destroy -- the entire town. With the help of Willbury Nibble, QC; some friendly boxtrolls and cabbageheads; Marjorie the frustrated inventor; and the rats and pirates from the Ratbridge Nautical Laundry, can Arthur thwart Snatcher's evil plans -- and find his way home?
