Splidge the Cragflinger - Book 2: The Purple Death.
Why are people dying in the city of Gud? What is wrong with the water supply? Who is storing wooden crates in mysterious huts? And how will an old journal place the population at risk?
In Splidge's second adventure, he and his friends, Doreen, Snotty and the Crag, set out to find the lost Royal Army. Their exploits take them into the uncharted regions where Cragflinger meets Crogflogger. They discover secrets of underground tunnels, ancient mines and the peculiar properties of turtle dung.
But far more important, Splidge learns the truth of the Purple Death and the importance of stopping it before there are no people left.
