Although frightened a great deal of the time, he continually strives to do what he believes is best for others - all adding up to a strong hero. He is kind, fair, and tender-hearted, able to move past conventional beliefs in order to see the bigger picture. There are several "fay" creatures, old pagan gods, witches and healers, and a secret buried deep in the woods. After finding a hobgoblin caught in a trap, Will's eyes are opened to the magical creatures around him.
Set in 1347, the story follows monks' apprentice, William, as he finds himself caught up in a battle between light and dark forces that seem to surround the abbey where he lives. I just hope that I'll get my hands on the sequel as quickly as possible.Ī medieval mystery of sorts for kids (with a bit of magic thrown in), The Crowfield Curse is a wonderful adventure. Humor, horror and adventure aspect of it were perfectly blended, and the book easily entered my 'all-time favorite stories' list. To conclude, this novel surprised the heck out of me and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good story. I loved their chemistry, and I loved how the dialogue felt real, even though it was set in a fantasy world quite different than our own. Also, not in a long time did I read a book that follows such likable main characters. At the same time, she was historically correct with the way monks lived, but she also blended that world so beautifully with the fantasy world. What surprised me the most was the world Pat Walsh created. The Crowfield Curse is set in 1347, and we follow our main character Will, who lives with monks, on his adventures that are filled with creatures such as hobs, fairies, and angels. Not in a long time did a book surprise me this much. However, when I started reading it, I got sucked into the story, and when I looked at the page number, I was on page 170. Even though the cover is absolutely beautiful, but the Goodreads rating was pretty low, so I expected to read a simple, short novel to kill time. I did not have big expectations when I started this novel. Well, this book sure did take me by surprise. Yup, still as good as when I read it the first time.
They have the dust of creation on their feet.
There are tales of creatures who pass freely amongst the stars, who were ancient when the world was new.
