Biographie de l'auteur
Kate Thompson is one of the most exciting authors writing for young people today. A born storyteller, her work is highly original and she is thought provoking in her ideas. She has travelled widely in the USA and India and studied law in London. After living in County Clare, she moved to Kinvara in County Galway and there, she discovered her passion for playing the fiddle. She is now an accomplished player and also has a great interest in restoring instruments.
Kate is the only author to win the Children's Books Ireland Bisto Book of the Year award four times - in 2002 for The Beguilers, in 2003 for The Alchemist's Apprentice, in 2004 for Annan Water and in 2006 for The New Policeman.
The New Policeman also won the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize 2005, the Whitbread Book Award Children's category 2005, the Children's Book of the Year in the Irish Book Awards in March 2006 and has been longlisted for the Carnegie Medal.
In 2008 Kate was again shortlisted for the Children's Books Ireland Bisto Award for her book, The Last of the High Kings, a beautiful and haunting story that delves deep into the magic of Irish myth and folklore.
Quatrième de couverture
Every night they come drifting through the sky above the village streets, issuing their mournful cries and terrorising the population. It isn't safe to go out after dark.
Everyone is aware of the power of the beguilers but no one knows what they are. No one has ever caught one. But every generation produces a beguiler-hunter: a tragic soul considered by the rest of the villagers to be insane.
Rilka isn't mad. But the desire to catch a beguiler is about to change her life and the lives of those around her, for ever.
WINNER OF THE BISTRO BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
