Comedy fantasy series with a Pratchetteque/Carry On Blackadder twist, but written for children. A slightly more sophisticated read than the Lost Diaries, with a bit more edge.

Involving a Runemaster and a lost treasure... (Oh yes, and sometimes he has to wear a dress, too.)
Be amused. Be very amused...
This is Book 1 in the Tales of the Dark Forest Series. See all Tales of the Dark Forest books here.
