Publisher Synopsis
Praise for Troll Blood: "The gripping climax mixes humour, adventure and imagination." Amanda Craig, The Times "An exciting and rewarding story, enriched by Langrish's wonderfully effective evocation of contemporary folklore! This is a lovely book. Read it. Read all three!" School Librarian "I love these books. Katherine Langrish is often compared to Alan Garner. She uses the same blend of history, mythology, fantasy and magic to spin a thumpingly good tale that is both realistic and dream-like! The historical details are awesomely researched." The Book Bag Praise for Troll Mill: "Despite the high drama of Troll Mill, it is moments of comedy! which will make children rock with delight and long for the further adventures of Peer." Amanda Craig, The Times Praise for Troll Fell: In Troll Fell Katherine Langrish has unearthed a captivating world. Bleak and captivating. Her style is quirky and hypnotic and her characters are instantly recognizable as someone you know, or someone you wish you didn't. Eoin Colfer "Troll Fell is a joy! a marvellous, magical adventure!" Amanda Craig, The Times "The style is enthralling, and the adventure persuasive and gripping. A juicy read for children." Independent on Sunday "From the opening page! Langrish's power to locate her story in the reader's imagination is reminiscent of Alan Garner." Sunday Telegraph "Atmospheric, with lowering weather, storms and blizzards, luridly imaginative! with nice touches of humour!" Children's Bookseller "Troll Fell, exciting, funny, vividly written and tightly plotted, is steeped in the essence of Scandinavian folklore!" Carousel Read more...
