The Book of Secrets

The Book of Secrets, Book 1

De: Alex Dunne

Narrado por: Róisín Rankin

Cat and her friends are preparing for Halloween night in Clonbridge. While they are planning their routes for trick-or-treating, a troop of fairies and supernatural creatures are also making plans for their annual Revels at Ráth Glas, a ringfort outside Clonbridge. These fairy folk enjoy mischief and chaos and have a tendency to steal human children and swap them with fairies or Stocks. As Cat and her granny have the gift of Sight, they’re aware that something special is happening in the town this Halloween.

And when two young children disappear, it becomes Cat’s responsibility to find the fairies’ secret fort and attempt to bargain with the Queen of the Fairies to get the children back – all before dawn breaks.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'I think that Alex Dunne, as author of The Book of Secrets may well have been to a fairy revel before, so wonderfully exotic and marvellous are her descriptions, I certainly wanted to be there for real and my imagination did a wonderful job of making it happen.' (Armadillo)

'A brilliant fantasy fairy tale story set in modern-day Ireland.' (Sunday Independent)

'The richness of Irish magic and folklore beautifully woven within the narrative adds a sense uniqueness to the novel which will particularly appeal to an Irish audience.' (Children's Books Ireland)
