It's a good day for flying with the ravens: pale-blue sky, wispy clouds, gentle updrafts. It's also the last ordinary day before everything changes forever. To Nettle and her cousin Bracken, the youngest witches in the coven, the world outside their hidden valley is enticing, mysterious, and forbidden; but they never imagined they would ever see it. Then suddenly the veil that protects their valley is broached and the Wellspring Water needed to repair it is polluted, forcing them to travel to a human city in search of the Door to another world. A wishing necklace, seeking stones, a wily raccoon, human Witchfriends, and long-lost loved ones help Nettle and Bracken on their quest. Will their fledgling magic be strong enough, or will encroaching human civilization spell the end of Witchkind?]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2014 21:36:16 +0200 https://fiction.library.land/mary-losure/382703-wild_boy.html https://fiction.library.land/mary-losure/382703-wild_boy.html
What happens when society finds a wild boy alone in the woods and tries to civilize him? A true story from the author of The Fairy Ring. One day in 1798, woodsmen in southern France returned from the forest having captured a naked boy. He had been running wild, digging for food, and was covered with scars. In the village square, people gathered around, gaping and jabbering in words the boy didn't understand. And so began the curious public life of the boy known as the Savage of Aveyron, whose journey took him all the way to Paris. Though the wild boy's world was forever changed, some things stayed the same: sometimes, when the mountain winds blew, "he looked up at the sky, made sounds deep in his throat, and gave great bursts of laughter." In a moving work of narrative nonfiction that reads like a novel, Mary Losure invests another compelling story from history with vivid and arresting new life.]]> Sun, 24 Nov 2013 21:27:00 +0200
