Customer Reviews

Jack of Fables, Jack of Hearts
If you enjoyed the Fable series and want more, I would recommend the Jack of Fables series. All about the loveable rouge Jack the giant Killer, Jack Horner, Jack Frost and all the other jacks. It's all his adventures after being kicked out of Fable Town, and you know Jack, He's always on the look out for money sceems and ending up in trouble. A must to all Fable fans and to those who are looking for something different.

Jack steps forth
Poor Jack, the laughing stock of Fabletown. So, he nicks some dosh, heads for Hollywood and the rest is history. The idea is so left field and works brilliantly, especially as Jack's arrogance is carried through right to the end......
