Spring-Heeled Jack: The name evoked awe from both criminals and upstanding citizens alike. Some thought he was the devil, but he was actually the original superhero—leaping over the buildings of Victorian England with the help of springs in the heels of his shoes.
The story begins as three young innocents escape their orphanage one dark and stormy night. As they make their way through the treacherous streets of London danger lurks, for hiding in the shadows is Mack the
Knife, the most villainous of villains. Enter
Spring-Heeled Jack, the springiest of heroes. But will Jack’s powers be enough to save
the orphans?
Originally published in paperback, Spring-Heeled Jack is back—now as a hardcover with eye-catching new jacket art.
"A Victorian escapade which will be welcomed, indeed chortled over, by anyone subtle enough to relish the Beano . . . High melodrama, driven by anarchic, breathless plots . . . Print is interspersed with illustrations-plus-speech-bubbles which you must read to stick with the story" (TES)
"A fantastic adventure which will have even reluctant readers hiding under the cover with a torch" (Sunday Express)
"A masterly storyteller" (Independent Weekend)
"A gripping story written in words and cartoons" (Recent Children's Fiction)
