The first children’s book written by the Godmother of British fantasy, Diana Wynne Jones.
OWN BACK LIMITED
REVENGE ARRANGED, PRICE ACCORDING TO TASK
Frank and Jess set up Own Back Limited because they need the money – so why not offer to do the bad things people don’t dare to do themselves? Their first customer is the neighbourhood bully. After his tooth is knocked out by Vernon Wilkins, he demands a tooth from Wilkins in revenge.
But the local witch, Biddy Iremonger, sees Own Back Limited as a threat to her own evil schemes. And when Biddy is angry, there’s no end to the trouble she’ll cause . . .
Diana Wynne Jones (1934–2011) spent her childhood in Essex and began writing fantasy novels for children in the 1970s. With her unique combination of magic, humour and imagination, she enthralled generations of children and adults with her work. She won the Guardian Award in 1977 with Charmed Life, was runner-up for the Children's Book Award in 1981 and was twice runner-up for the Carnegie Medal.
