When Arthur is cornered by the frightful Snatcher and his men, there seems to be no way out.

But luckily help is at hand in the form of a retired judge, a timid cabbagehead, and some very excitable boxtrolls. It's monsters to the rescue! This is the first part of the incredible Here Be Monsters saga - now published in paperback in three easy-to-digest volumes.

Illustrated throughout with nearly two hundred incredible black and white drawings, this is the start of an astonishing journey into the unbelievably weird world of Ratbridge.
