Wilkins' Tooth Summary

Wilkins' Tooth by Diana Wynne Jones

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 . . .

Wilkins' Tooth Reviews

"Diana Wynne Jones ought to be crowned with coloured garlands because she is the best writer of magical fantasy for children in this country" - Evening Standard

"Diana Wynne Jones is, quite simply, the best writer of magic there is, for readers of any age." - Neil Gaiman

"...Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worlds. Yet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels,
a sense of urgency that links Jones's most outrageous plots to her readers' hopes and fears..." - Publishers Weekly
