Product Description

The story of an unusual friendship, played out against the backdrop of Norway`s Viking wars. WHEN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD meets Morton--a peregrine falcon who has been stripped of his feathers--in the woods near her home, she has no idea what to make of him. What has happened to this poor creature, and what force has destined that he cross her path? Before long, Freya and Morton have embarked on an adventure that will take her far, far away from her goatherd father`s small house. As the often bad-tempered girl and the once-majestic bird begin to form an unlikely bond, they find themselves at the centre of a battlefield--one that pits old against new, god against mortal, peace against war, pagan against Christian, and brother against brother. Will this be the end of the race of Norse gods and goddesses, and the Vikings who fight in their shadows? Or simply the beginning of bigger story... In The Feathered Cloak, newcomer Sean Dixon whisks us back to a time part real and part imagined, weaving myth and history into an epic tale for young readers.

Ce commentaire est de: The Feathered Cloak: The Trilogy of the Tree Part 1 (Hardcover)

Toronto playwright Sean Dixon begins his Norse era trilogy with The Feathered Cloak, the story of Freya, her giant brother Rolf, and the disgraced falcon Morton. Set in AD 933, Cloak mixes history and legend, political upheaval with talking birds, and - just out of sight - are those Valkyries watching events unfold? Dixon is a master storyteller - his adult novel The Girls Who Saw Everything is a wonderful modern-day retelling of The Epic of Gilgamesh - and I can't wait for Book 2 in this series.
