4th Ramion collection. Fantasy adventures set in the magical land of Ramion and Kent village of Shoreham. Contains three stand-alone, fantastical stories. In The Kingdom of the Deep the witch Griselda changes the holiday plans of the boys and their parents, but on arriving at Morgan Castle discovers (to her disgust) that her cousin Veronica will not allow her to eat the boys whilst staying in the castle (bad for trade). She magics the boys to the Kingdom of the Deep where (along with octopus, squid and mermen) she tries to get them. In The Blizzard Wizard with the unwitting help of Cloud 9 the Princess of the Night (source of evil) frees the Blizzard Wizard. When he turns the Garden and the Gardener and with the Garden the whole of Ramion into ice, the boys set out (with a reluctant Scrooey-Looey, their half-mad rabbit friend) to find the earth, water, fire and air which will send him back to his prison cell. In The Body Collector Boris the skull (longing to dance and swim) wants his body back (although not entirely sure how he lost it). Before he rescues Griselda from the mini-skulls (who want to eat her) he gets her to promise to help him get his body, but she keeps her fingers crossed (so the promise does not count) and when they visit the Body Collector nothing works out as they expect.
