A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Something is scratching around in the attic above Alison's room. Yet the only thing up there is a stack of grimy old plates. Alison and her stepbrother, Roger, discover that the flowery patterns on the plates, when traced onto paper, can be fitted together to create owls--owls that disappear when no one is watching. With each vanished owl, strange events begin to happen . As the kids uncover the mystery of the owl service, they become trapped within a local legend, playing out roles in a tragic love story that has repeated itself for generations . . . and has always ended in disaster.

Revue de presse

"A book to be read and re-read . . . Stirring to the emotions and the imagination."--Christian Science Monitor

"It is hard to write with restraint about Alan Garner's talent, so deftly does he build his story . . . of bright fantasy and somber Welsh legend, of romantic adventure and acid realism."--Saturday Review
