Synopsis

Agaton Sax is under arrest!
On holiday in the beautiful country of Brosnia, Agaton Sax and his faithful dachshund Tickie find themselves on the wrong side of the law when the great detective is declared to be an imposter.
Meanwhile, a gang of cunning criminals are planning to wreak havoc with the most dangerous and sensation invention of the century - silent explosives!
Agaton Sax must clear his name and catch the crooks, all while dealing with a suspicious Inspector Lispington, a man with one steel shoe, a gang of angry race car drivers and a pair of interfering aunts.
In other words, just another case for Agaton Sax…
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 in audio format, newly translated for the next generation and expertly narrated by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.

A good reason why it’s maybe not a good idea to revisit your youth. My primary school had a whole bunch of Agaton Sax books in the library. Not to blow my own trumpet, but I was a fairly advanced reader at the time and these books seemed the size of War & Peace compared to the rest of the phonetic p......more

Goodreads review by Tommy on September 01, 2019

Een snel en tamelijk absurd verhaal waarin veel gebeurt, vooral gekenmerkt door stommiteiten en misverstanden. Wie er een beetje dieper over nadenkt beseft dat dit eigenlijk is hoe kinderen de wereld van de volwassenen zien! Als we er van uitgaan dat niets onmogelijk is, zit het zelfs nog tamelijk lo......more

Goodreads review by John on July 15, 2014

The original and best Swedish detective. Illustrated by none other than Quentin Blake. Very enjoyable, if not very silly, European children's story.......more
