I hated the king at the start of the book as he put his son in jail and his wife the Queen.

This book is about history and it presents us with the 10 statues of United Kingdom and it shows us that evil never wins.

This book is about a little boy, Prince Alfred who longs to leave his home of Buckingham Palace and explore London. When Alfred's mother, the Queen, is taken away to the Tower of London, he goes on an adventure to save her and must fight the mysterious Griffin. Really good book, exciting and scary at the same time!
