Book Description
Sometimes it is difficult to determine the fine line between myth, legend and history. One thing Jeremiah Willow-Bottom discovers is that it is not wise to tempt fate. Jeremiah Willow-Bottom and Dandelion Flamethrower are now at university. All their previous adventures were depicted on a huge and ancient tapestry that hung in her father’s palace in the Faerie dimension (Jeremiah Willow-Bottom and the Disenchanted Forest). Upon reflection Jeremiah realises that it had not been there before the king first showed it to him. Curious to know its origin he persuades Dandelion to take him back to the Dark Land so they can investigate further. Unfortunately, some powerful magic has been set in motion and Dandelion is drawn into the tapestry by an unknown force. Jeremiah, with his power to see reality, manages to open a gateway and embarks on a rescue. He is pulled through history, myth and legend until he is not entirely sure which is which. Along the way he meets many strange helpers, including a musical dinosaur. Now all he has to do is find Dandelion.

Book Description
Being a computer nerd makes saving the land of the Faerie a bit of a doddle for Jeremiah Willow-Bottom. Watching a raindrop running down a windowpane one day he imagines he sees an old, gnarled, leafless forest, moss-covered and sad. His daydream becomes reality one night when he looks deeply into another raindrop and he actually finds himself in the place he calls the Dark Land. However, something startles him and he immediately returns to his bedroom. All his further attempts to return to the strange place are thwarted. Then, one day on a nature trip he accidentally put his name down for, he meets Dandelion Flamethrower, a rather rude and sarcastic Goth fairy. Unfortunately, their meeting has been witnessed by his nemesis who is trying to take over the Dark Land by use of a curse and, upon his return there, Jeremiah has a crisis of identity.
