4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent story that makes you race to it's ending.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Griffin's Castle (Paperback)
The story of Dinah. An eleven year old with a painful childhood. To aid her defence from unhappiness she draws to her the spirits of the stone animals that guard Cardiff castle. As christmas approaches will she be able to break through her own defences and escape to a happpier future? A story that is well told and constantly engaging. It is peopled with characters that you always want to know more about. My only complaint is that there are many other stories to be told about the people here and little chance that we will ever hear them. However I would heartily recommend this book.

Strange but Worth Reading,

This review is from: Griffin's Castle (Paperback)
This is a strange book that put me in mind of Pauline Fisk's award winning "Midnight Blue". Dinah is a bright young girl with a challenging childhood. Her mother has a new boyfriend with a dilapidated house in Cardiff that they move into. But the relationship between Dinah and the boyfriend - Gomer - is a poor one, with no love lost on either side.
Somehow Dinah manages to unleash forces relating to the stone images at the nearby castle. The ensuing story is somewhat disturbing - and the question is whether she will be able to control the forces she has unleashed. Will her school friends be able to help? This is an interesting, and somewhat strange book. Worth reading though.

This review is from: Griffin's Castle (Paperback)
I read this book whilst I was at school. I just picked it up in the library by chance and loved it. I loved the idea of the stone animals coming to life to protect dinah. When I was about 18 I found it in a book shop and bought it. Since it was my favourite book I thought it riciculous I didn't own it. I still read it from time to time now. I would reccomend it whole-heartedly it's utterly magical.
