Life in rural Mallorca continues to hold its magic for Anna and her family.When not juggling work deadlines, chatting with Johnny the toad or managing her ever-growing menagerie, Anna sets off to explore the lesser-known areas of the island.On her cultural and historic voyage of discovery she visits fig, olive and snail farms, a textile mill and a sobrasada sausage factory, and learns of Mallorca's rich literary legacy. While marathon training in the picturesque Tramuntana mountains, she is spooked when delving into the myths and Moorish legends that still seem to haunt the surrounding hills. As she examines the ancient remains of ice houses and huts of charcoal burners, she hears tales of the terrifying brigands that ruled the area in the seventeenth century. And she even finds time to hike the Camino de Santiago along the way...

When the brave knight rescues the beautiful princess, all that remains is a monster sized egg. Best friends Brynn, Alys and Dilan decide to take the egg home to Eggsville, the place where all the kingdoms' eggs are laid, and hatch the giant chicken inside. The only problem is there’s no such thing as a giant chicken. There are stories however, of fire breathing monsters guarding towers, and legends of great beasts roaming the sky at night. And now they seem to have brought one home, one that will surely require feeding. And what do monsters eat? Chickens of course, and lots of them! Soon, hatching the egg and dealing with the villagers will be the least of their problems. For a new arrival is imminent, one that is huge and dark and looks intent on destroying more than just a few eggs.
