Discovering Fergus Crane's Adventure
This book tells the story of Fergus Crane, a young boy who lives with his mother, Lucia, in the Archduke Ferdinand Apartments. His life seems quite ordinary until a mysterious flying box appears at his window.
Mysterious Messages and a Flying Horse
The small, magical box arrives not once, but three times. Each time, it carries important letters from Fergus's 'long lost uncle Theo'. These messages warn Fergus that he is in great danger and that help is on its way. Soon after, a magnificent flying horse arrives at his window. This magical creature takes Fergus on an amazing journey.
The Mountain Chalet and New Beginnings
The flying horse carries Fergus to a beautiful mountain chalet. This is where his incredible adventures truly begin. He discovers a world filled with mystery and excitement, far beyond his everyday life in the city. The story follows Fergus as he uncovers secrets and faces challenges in this new, magical setting.
