About this deal
Q: What is the most impressive man made machine you have seen, and did it help inspire Cogheart at the outset? Q: The Victorians loved stories that featured lockets and lost identities - did this help you form some of your ideas for Moonlocket?

Moonlocket’s translations include Månberlocken (Swedish), Diamantul Lunii Sângerii (Romanian), and Blodmånens Diamant (Danish). Lily and Malkin, the mechanical fox, must stay one step ahead before Jack plays his final, deadly, card. A: When I began thinking of Victorian mysteries, apart from the cases of Sherlock Holmes, the other classic that popped into my mind was The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins - that's where I got the idea for the title of Moonlocket.Skycircus is propelled along by a pulse-pounding plot, though this time the thrills are more adventure- than mysterydriven. Murder, mayhem and mystery meet in this gripping Victorian adventure, nominated for numerous awards; including the Carnegie Medal, the Waterstones Book Prize and the Branford Boase. Watch interesting films - I love old movies which have lots of space for you to add your own interpretation of events.
