A Year and a Day

Morwenna has risked the ire and safety of her village by befriending a wolfchild. Set in the land of Lyonnesse in the year 1099, Wolfchild is the story of Morwenna who meets a wolf and a forbidden stranger, the wild boy, Raw. Despite the rumours, Morwenna believes that Raw is neither dangerous, nor a wolfchild. But visions and portents of impending catastrophe suggest time is running out for her to unravel the mystery of who Raw really is. And why does he have to stay hidden for a year and a day? Wolfchild is a vivid and beautiful story, carefully researched and crafted. A delightful historical fantasy. - Eva (Sallis) Hornung, author. A robust, upbeat but somehow haunting tale extrapolated from the Cornish legend of the lost land of Lyonesse. - Russ Merrin, Magpies.
