Once upon a time, a spell went very wrong and Joe Jefferson found himself transported to Muddle Earth, where the wizards are mad, the pink stinky hogs are stinky, and the jokes are truly terrible. Now, two years later, Muddle Earth needs him back. But even with his Wellies of Power, Woolly Gloves of Determination and a saucepan on his head, can Joe Jefferson really defeat the terrifying spectre of evil that threatens to destroy Muddle Earth? Get prepared for another epic battle between the forces of good, evil and everything in between!

Brenda the Warrior-Princess and her pink sabre-toothed cat Sniffy are back in Muddle Earth, and they've had enough of adventuring. All they want is a nice, boring wizard to work for—and it looks like they've come to the right place... Meanwhile, Joe is desperate to depart for Elfwood, to retrieve the Great Book of Spells, but first he has to get Randalf to leave the house. The wizard swears he set the clock for an early departure, but the clock-elf has gone AWOL, so how will he ever get organised? And it's not just the clock-elf that's taken an unexpected holiday—from Goblintown to Trollbridge and the Enchanted Lake, every elf in Muddle Earth has decided to go on vacation... What is going on? And can Joe put it right?

On se souvient du ""Marais qui pue,"" cet univers delirant inspire de Tolkien et du ""Seigneur des anneaux."" Un monde heroique, dans lequel debarquait par hasard un garcon comme les autres, Jean-Michel Chanourdi. Il y rencontrait Randalf, un magicien rate, et tout un monde de creatures bizarres. Il y vivait mille aventures avant de pouvoir rentrer chez lui. On se souvient aussi que Jean-Michel est revenu dans le Marais qui pue avec sa grande s ur, Ella. Ella est tombee dans les bras d'Edouard Lebeau, un beau et tenebreux vampire-suceur de pouces. Jean-Michel, lui, a retrouve Randalf. Le sorcier a fonde l'Ecole des sorciers de Cochonlard. Dans cet ultime episode, Jean-Michel et ses compagnons sont a la recherche du lampadaire magique, qui rend possible le passage d'un monde a l'autre et permettrait a Jean-Michel et a sa s ur de rentrer chez eux. Leur quete conduit les compagnons a travers tout le Marais qui pue, ou ils rencontrent une multitude de personnages tous aussi fous les uns que les autres. Et surtout Eraguff, un gentil dragon pas comme les autres...

Joe Jefferson is an ordinary schoolboy from ordinary Earth. At least, he was. But something strange happened when he was walking his dog, and now he's Joe the Barbarian—fearless warrior-hero, summoned by Muddle Earth's leading wizard\* to slay ogres, wrestle dragons, and bravely confront villains. Joe doesn't feel much like a warrior-hero.\\ But evil is stirring in the heart of Elfwood, and the people of Muddle Earth need help (although most of them don't know it yet). Perhaps Joe Jefferson really is a hero after all... \* Actually, Muddle Earth's only wizard. And he's not very good. \\ He doesn't really look much like one either.
