What a joy to read a really good adventure story about good and evil - I couldn't put it down
Megan Larkin
Redemption via a fascinating cast of characters from bird to human worlds.
Book Description
An adventure story involving two orphaned children. They find themselves (together with two albatrosses, a woodpecker and two owls) caught up with Ralendel, an eagle of royal birth, in his attempt to regain the crown of Eya-gall - which was lost at the beginning of time.
Ralendel and his seven companions have to face the forces of evil, and the outcome is often uncertain. Who can they trust? How can they achieve their goal? Is wickedness stronger than good?
‘Eya-gall’s Crown’ explores these age-old issues through the compelling use of fantasy and imagination, made so popular by C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and J. K. Rowling, and will appeal to children from Junior to Secondary age, and all adults who enjoy reading ‘children’s’ books!
