Award-winning author Katherine Rundell discusses The Poisoned King, the second instalment in her acclaimed children鈥檚 fantasy series, Impossible Creatures.

In this latest adventure, protagonist Christopher journeys back to the magical archipelago - a realm where dragons, unicorns, griffons, mermaids, and much more, all roam free. But this time, he鈥檚 faced with an urgent and mysterious threat.

Rundell shares the three literary inspirations behind her new novel: William Shakespeare鈥檚 Hamlet (1600), C.S. Lewis鈥檚 Prince Caspian (1951), and Ursula K. Le Guin鈥檚 A Wizard of Earthsea (1968).
