Australia’s own hero for young readers around the world!
A novel for readers age 8 to 13 years

Fartingale is an unfortunate name. Martin Fartingale hates it.
Young readers - when asked the question, say they love it. It’s a good start.

The story of Martin Fartingale is a gentle tale with many humorous moments to soften the drama, which embraces kidnapping, torture chambers and kids slaving in caverns burrowed out from the bowels of the Mount… all the stuff young people love to read about.

Potions which eradicate past life experiences and control the mind, witchety bats, dank tunnels and slimy pits, fat rats, white witches and a Black Knight all conspire to stimulate the reader. The narrative leads to Gregor’s evil plan to conquer Britain and drive the Roman Legions out of Europe. It all comes together to add another dimension to childrens literature, with a smattering of uncertain history and contemporary humanity thrown in..

Above all Martin Fartingale is a good read, according to a fair sample of readers in the eight to thirteen year age group… and lots of mums and dads. Some even went so far as to say ‘Martin Fartingale’ is every bit as readable as ‘the wizard stories’.

Martin Fartingale is no wizard, just a genius at getting into trouble. In fact he was a perfectly normal 13 year Aussie boy… until he was dragged away from the surf beaches of Australia to cold, wet and miserable England by his mother.

The first of a planned trilogy of adventures for Martin Fartingale is set in a Cornish fishing village, a place steeped in folk lore involving a craggy offshore island called St Cecils Mount, a derelict monastery, a mad monk and the vaporous spirit of an ancient uncle, Septimus Fartingale.

Cornish mythology is never far removed from King Arthur and the dark ages. The exploits of Martin Fartingale in ‘Terror on the Mount’ take place in an accident induced time warp which takes him back to that uncertain period of history. In his search for the gaseous remains of Uncle Septimus, Martin becomes embroiled in a fight for his life against the mad abbot of St Cecils monastery, Gregor The Horrible, and his bungling henchmen. He also confronts Ursula’s coven of Black Witches and a whole bunch of historical weirdos.
