In den Mooren Yorkshires lebt eine geheime Gruppe von Menschen, für die Bücher Nahrung sind, die alles verschlingen, was darin steht.

Doch Devon schwört ihn zu retten und flieht mit ihm in die Welt der Menschen, verfolgt vom eigenen Clan und seinen schrecklichen Handlangern, den 'Rittern'.

Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries.
