Agaton Sax and the Max Brothers

By Nils-Olof Franzén

Book Overview

Agaton Sax, private detective and editor of the world's smallest newspaper (but also the best) loves a good trick.

Mind you, a brain like his is pretty hard to fool.

So when conjurors extraordinaire the Marvellous Max Brothers come to Byk?ping just days after there has been a daring raid on the Bank of England, the stage is set for a magical mystery tour that will see our heroes and villains travel across Europe - by train, car, plane, helicopter and... barrel?!

The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature.

Now, after many years out of print, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series, newly translated and illustrated for the next generation. This new collection includes the eleventh book which has never before been released in English.
