Product description

It’s 1347 and fifteen-year-old Will, an orphan boy, lives at Crowfield Abbey. Sent into the forest to gather wood, he rescues instead, a creature from a trap – a hob, who shares with Will a terrible secret.

Somewhere in the forest behind the abbey where he lives, is a grave. And buried deep in the snow is an angel.

But how can an angel die? What has it to do with the monks of the Abbey?

When two hooded strangers arrive at Crowfield asking questions about the angel’s grave. Will is drawn into a world of dangerous Old Magic.

The Crowfield Feather was short-listed for the Times Children’s Fiction Competition in 2008. This is a stunning debut novel and the first of a two part series.

Pat Walsh

Pat Walsh, author of The Crowfield Curse, was the runner up in the 2008 Times Chicken House Writing Competition. She was born in a haunted house in Kent and spent her early years in West Africa and Ireland, before her family settled in Leicestershire. At the age of nine, Pat decided she wanted to be an archaeologist, going on her first dig at twelve. Now fully trained, she’s still digging to this day! However, her first love is writing and she finds her inspiration in mythology and folklore, and in Britain’s rich historical heritage. She now lives in Bedfordshire with her husband and two children.

The sequel to The Crowfield Curse entitled The Crowfield Demon is released in April 2011.
