From the Author:
Thisis my latest novel and the riskiest yet.
Here is an adventure story for children of 12 and over. While researching another book, I kept coming across monsters which, until very recently, were believed in and propitiated all year round. This is my attempt to bring them back to life. Phelim Green, againt his better judgement, finds he has been chosen to deal with impending disaster. He must stop the Stoor Worm waking. In the meantime he and his travelling companions - the Maiden, the Fool and the Horse - must contend with the offspring of the Worm which are hatching out from the stones beneath her warming body. It's scary in parts - apparently more scary than I intended. If you are looking for something to hold a boy's interest, you might give it a try. It should appeal equally to girls, but since when was getting girls to read a problem? Hope you like it.
