Answer: devil

I am not sure if Alexander invented the phrase 'printer's devil' or if it actually describes a printer's apprentice.

He is one of the best printers in Westmark.

4. Under what name does Count Las Bombas want his pamphlet printed?

Dr. Absolom claims to have cures for all sorts of ailments. He is, of course, a fraud. Las Bombas also uses the alias Mynheer Bloomsa later in the book.

Answer: Constable Pohn

He tells Theo that they will search the forest, and hints that he should escape via the King's Highway.

6. When the soldiers come into the print shop, Theo hits the officer on the head with an iron bar. Does the officer die?

Answer: No

It was a Royal Officer, so Theo was soon in trouble with not only the local constabulary, but the Crown police as well.
