Teenage fantasy fiction set in a dimension where Napoleon had conquered everywhere he wanted to, including the UK, so Europe including Russia are French domains . Locations of the stories, are Cornwall, Scilly Isles and Northern France . There is a school play at Tim's school in chapter one, part one, which can be skipped if one doesn't like reading plays, but its good intro to the surreal world about to happen in the rest of the stories. The play was inspired by Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood.
