Long ago Sydney the Smuggler was in serious trouble with the Dame of the Jet Black Veil. Now he’s just a few centimetres tall and three hundred years away from home. But he’s rescued by schoolboy Plug and they travel back to the time of the smugglers. Can they trick Captain Hacker and his men and help solve a terrible problem?

Welcome to Sydney’s website. Here you’ll find resources about smuggling, a quiz about the Sydney books, information for teachers and schools, and an opportunity to buy the books.
Ged Duncan is a writer based in Dorset and Sussex and both counties had a long tradition of smuggling. There are three books in the Sydney the Smuggler series: The Probblehem, The Windycutts and The Prestlegang.
