[edit] Sebastian Darke
The Sebastian Darke books are a fantasy series for children. They recount the adventures of Sebastian Darke, a failed jester, and his companions: Max, a talking (and endlessly complaining) "buffalope" (a huge, shaggy beast of burden), and Captain Cornelius Drummel, a tiny but powerful warrior and leading exponent of the lethal Golmiran Death Leap.
The first book in the series, Sebastian Darke: Prince of Fools was published by Random House Children's Books on January 4, 2007. Two sequels are also due for publication: Sebastian Darke: Prince of Pirates and Sebastian Darke: Prince of Explorers, as well as a spin-off recounting Max's life story, A Buffalope's Tale.
