Description

'McNeill has created a fabulous universe packed full of wonder and terror. The Beginning Woods has earned its place on a shelf with Gormenghast and The Princess Bride. I loved every word and was envious of quite a few. It opened my eyes wide and quickened my heart. A modern classic rich, funny and terrifying' Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl

But can he bear the truth - or will is destroy him?

A STORY THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER WORLD
