About The Crystal Prison

REDISCOVER A CHILDREN’S CLASSIC: An updated edition of the enchantingly spooky animal fantasy for middle grade fans of Redwall—now updated with 60+ stunning new illustrations.

Join power-hungry rats, nature-loving mice, and mystical bats on a second Deptford Mice adventure in the magical sewers under London!

Enter the fantastical world of adventure with the Deptford Mice. They bring a magical and fearsome world to life, with intense and memorable creatures. They are dark and scary fantasy writing of the very highest level, an absolute treat for young readers eager to enter an adventure that offers an honest and brutal reality without being unnecessarily gory. They are addictive and thrilling and don’t shy away from the grisly moments, but offer something the author aptly calls “a safe scare”.


A perfect series to get immersed in and a much-needed addition for the current market, which tends to lean towards either forced happy endings or too much adult content. Strong writing that will be appreciated by this age group eager for an immersive story.
