The Bag of Bones: The Second Tale from the Five Kingdoms

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ross Collins. In this sequel to The Robe of Skulls, orphans, trolls, witches, and other classic characters again come together in humorous fashion, as the ill-intentioned Truda Hangnail threatens the kingdom with banned Deep Magic. Characters with names such as Gubble, Doily, and Mrs. Cringe populate the pages of French's tale, in which the laughs are plentiful and the ending is, of course, happy.
