About This Author

Amanita Peridot Festoon is the author of the Wulfbertie series of books (and the pen name of Joan Tucker). Details of Amanita's colourful history are set out on Wulfbertie's website at www.wulfbertie.com/Amanita.html. Details of Wulfbertie's colourful adventures, however, are set out in six thrilling books. They tell of his incarceration in an ancient abbey (which subsequently became the even more ancient Cathedral of Gloucester), his battles with Vikings and bandits and the indelible impact he had on the resconstruction of Gloucester (Glewcaster) in the early middle ages. He deals with floods, bears, plots and plagues. He deals less successfully with poisoned mushrooms and putrid perch. It is all there for you to discover.
