The Ministry of Mysteries

 Swemmit is an island full of mysteries and secrets but, according to a law passed in 1855, they are seen as markedly and vitally different and curated by two different departments: The Ministry of Mysteries and the Society of Secrets


The Ministry of Mysteries is run out of Swemmit House by tiger Osiris Kinchip, and his two assistants - a koala called Big Norm Ganderblast and the frog Señor Lopez - who both investigate, record and catalogue all mysteries on the island. They do not solve them, goodness no, but someone has to keep track don’t they?
