About the Author:
Vince and Sandra Peddle were born (respectively) in High Wycombe and Leicester. Both keen travellers, they have - between them - lived in such far-flung places as the USA, South Africa, Germany, Greece and Turkey - as well as Portsmouth, Manchester, Wellingborough and Watford (where for some years they owned and ran a large second-hand bookshop in the high street). In 2002 they moved to the island of Jersey. They first met when living on another island, Crete, and they have long been fascinated by things Cretan. "We always find ourselves coming back to Crete in the end," says Vince Peddle. "Sixteen years after we stopped living there, it is still our home. The Moon Maiden (and, indeed, the whole Cnossos trilogy) is an attempt not so much to revive a vanished ancient world as to convey to the reader our sense of a timeless, mystical essence about Crete that is indefinably special - which perhaps explains why, in Minoan times, the island was sacred."
Synopsis:
A novel which recreates Minoan mythology naturalistically, within a matriachal, Goddess-worshipping society.
