A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

It starts with a noise reverberating in the hill. David and Keith see a boy appear from the ground, carrying a candle and beating a drum. He is an 18th-century drummer boy, who will have an irreversible effect on both their lives. Extraordinary things start to happen. Standing stones move, giants stalk the hills, wild boar rampage through the town. Then David vanishes, and Keith must search through time for his friend ...

In the forty years since its first publication, Earthfasts has become an indispensable classic.

Biographie de l'auteur :

William Mayne has been described as one of the outstanding children's authors of this century (Oxford Companion to Children's Lit.). He has won all major awards including the Carnegie and Guardian fiction award. Susan Hill wrote of The Fox Gate, his first storybook for Hodder, 'These stories for eight-year-olds and up are jewels - the words 'timeless' and 'classic' should be used sparingly, but are justified here.' (Daily Telegraph)
