Review
"Written in a disarmingly matter-of-fact style, this novel is often weird but sometimes wonderful as well" (Nicholas Tucker Times Educational Supplement 2007-05-25)
"Thompson's brilliantly low key writing embroiders these flights of fancy into the earthy warp and weft of family life and landscape, all beautifully described in a way that relates the fantastical to everyday issues of ecological and social responsibility" (Books for Keeps 2007-09-01)
"This is an elegant and original novel" (Inis 2007-09-01)
"It's a powerful book that dares to think as big as this one" (Mary Medlicott The School Librarian 2007-10-01)
"Imaginary and realistic worlds effortlessly coalesce" (The Irish Times 2007-12-08)

Hardback. Condition: Good. Traveling to the land of eternal youth was the only way J.J. Liddy could stop time from leaking from his world to T'ir na n'Og. But fifteen years after returning from the land of the faeries, J.J. wonders if that long-ago visit is responsible for the strange things now happening to those around him. Why does his daughter Jenny roam barefoot through the wilds, when she should be in school? When did the mysterious white goat begin to patrol the hillside? What is the secret project that J.J.'s son Donal is attempting? And who is the ghost guarding the stone beacon at the top of the mountain--and why has Jenny befriended him? Finding answers to these questions will take J.J. and his family on the most important and dangerous journey of their lives. If they fail, it will undo all the good that J.J. accomplished fifteen years ago. But if they succeed, they will defeat the forces that are gathering to destroy all of mankind, and finally secure the future of the last of the high kings. Seller Inventory # 00088332820
