Colman
Über dieses E-Book
Set in very early Christian times, Colman is a spellbinding fantasy of a faraway age, when the mystical and the commonplace walked hand in hand. The healer, Juniper, and her apprentice, Wise Child, are accused of witchcraft and forced to flee their small town. Wise Child's devoted cousin, Colman, escapes with them. This is his story of their arrival to the land of Juniper's birth, where she is, in fact, a princess.

Autoren-Profil
Monica Furlong is best known in the United States for her two award-winning books for young adults, Wise Child and its prequel, Juniper. In her homeland of England, she was many things-journalist, biographer, novelist, feminist, activist, and social commentator and critic. To all of these roles she brought her abiding commitment to the Christian faith and her simultaneous disillusionment with established social structures. Confronting injustice and hypocrisy wherever she found it, she campaigned for changes to laws that discriminated against homosexuals and successfully led a movement for the ordination of women in the Church of England. Monica Furlong finished Colman, the sequel to Wise Child, just before her death in January 2003, in Devon, England. She was seventy-two years old.
