’Succeeds to an almost uncanny extent in conveying the atmosphere and quality of life among the pre-historic Celts.’ - Cordelia Oliver, The Guardian
A mystical love story of deep symbolism. Redolent of Celtic folklore, the second sight and other myths and rituals. This novel, part fantasy part historic drama, ’came’ to Marion Campbell through a series of waking dreams. It is an essentially pre-Christian tale, set in the Scotland of 500BC, in which we find hints of familiar legends and eternal reality.
With a foreword by Naomi Mitchison.
The name of Marion Campbell is synonymous with the heritage of her native Argyll, where she grew up with the Gaelic language of her forebears. A notable archaeologist, she is the author of several studies of the area and four novels for children, set in medieval times and much acclaimed for their historical accuracy.
