Synopsis

Book by Pullman Philip

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Using multiple narrators and expertly concocted cliffhangers, Pullman crafts a thrilling page-turner. This gothic farce
features young orphans, evil schemers, a gloomy Swiss castle, a long-lost heir, stalwart lads, capable women, a con man on the lam,
hilariously bumbling police officers, and Zamiel: the Prince of the Mountains, the Demon Huntsman. . . . It's whirlwind plotting, manipulated into a pulsing tale of darkened hearts, treachery, and at long last, redemption."--Kirkus Reviews

"In this deliciously gothic thriller there are enough demon huntsmen, evil guardians, and brooding castles to please even the most desensitized reader."--School Library Journal, Starred

"A welcome diversion . . . [that is] dashing, sparkling, and wildly over the top."--Publishers Weekly, Starred
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Quatrième de couverture

No one in the village of Karlstein dares to leave their homes on All Souls' Eve - the night Zamiel the Demon Huntsman comes to claim his prey.

But the evil Count Karlstein has struck a terrible bargin with Zamiel, and so the lives of his young nieces, Lucy and Charlotte, are in danger. Their only hope lies with Hildi, a castle maidservant. One thing is certain - the Demon Huntsman will not return to his dark wood unsatisfied!

A deliciously terrifying and wickedly funny Gothic tale, COUNT KARLSTEIN is the first-ever children's novel by the award-winning Philip Pullman. Originally published in 1982, this new edition of COUNT KARLSTEIN is a treat no Pullman fan should miss.
