Book Review: I'll never part with it!
Summary: 5 Stars
"When I was nine years old, I hid under a table and heard my sister kill a king..." So begins Frances Mary Hendry's most compelling 'Quest' book. Well, when I was nine, I hid under a table and read this book. The effect for me was almost as life-changing as the death of King Alexander III was for protagonist Meg. I was drawn into a wonderfully detailed and emotive medieval world, fell in love with the characters and so many scenes remain etched in my mind.
Countless rereadings and over a decade in time haven't diminished my attachment to this Canongate Kelpie. I have since become a history undergraduate at Cambridge University specializing in the medieval period. Believe it or not, I owe my enthusiasm for the subject to this single book - I read it, and never looked back.
A story I'll treasure forever!
