Conn Iggulden TOLLINS First Edition Double Signed
First edition first print hardback of TOLLINS Explosive Tales for Children by Conn Iggulden (with Illustrations by Lizzy Duncan) and published by HarperCollins in 2009. Signed to a previous owner by Iggulden and Duncan on the half title page. Numberline is a single digit '1'. Child's cute gift inscription to front endpaper.The book is in near fine condition (black cloth boards with silver lettering to spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a very good unclipped dust jacket which has a bit of edge creasing here and there. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears.
These are the first three stories of the Tollins. Yes, they do have wings, but no, they aren't fairies. Tollins are a lot less fragile than fairies. In fact, the word fragile can't really be used to describe them at all. They are about as fragile as a house brick.
In "How to Blow Up Tollins" a fireworks factory comes to the village of Chorleywood and the Tollins find themselves being used as industrial supplies. Being blasted into the night sky or spun round on a Catherine wheel is nowhere near as much fun as it sounds. It's up to one young Tollin to save his people from becoming an ingredient.
In "Sparkler and the Purple Death" our hero looks execution in the face. Luckily, the executioner's mask is backwards.
Finally, in "Windbags and Dark Tollins" Tollin society faces a threat from the Dorset countryside, which, again, is much more frightening and nail-bitingly dramatic than it actually sounds.
