Most people who have read widely about the Fez Medina in literature will be quick to point out the work of Paul Bowles (The Spider's House) and maybe our own Sandy McCutcheon's The Cobbler's Apprentice. And in Non Fiction A House in Fez by Suzanna Clarke. However to this list must now be added Eoin Colfer and Artemis Fowl & the Time Paradox. This is the seventh Artemis Fowl book written by the Irish children's author.
Publication date was 7 August
For those who have not become addicted to Colfer's fantasy, Artemis Fowl is a very wealthy criminal mastermind who has unlocked a world of fairies and magic and in this book there are two versions of him: Elder and Younger.
Both have a huge minder called Butler. His sidekick is Captain Holly Short, a very capable police fairy who has hypnotic skills and an amazing range of gadgets.
And here's what caught our attention. The James Bond-like showdown in the leather souq in Fez is really thrilling. Yep! The Fez tanneries. Read and enjoy.
