Marian Green is well known for her many books on folk lore, occult philosophy, modern magic and Witchcraft, but it is a surprise to find a novel from her hand, and one that can be read by younger persons as well. It is not a childrens book, though it is certainly suitable for young teenagers. But adults will love this book too. Especially the ones with an interest in country life, myths and magic.
This story of friendship, discovery and magic is well written, and once you start reading it, you’ll find yourself soon drawn into the story. Though some elements will be familiar to readers, the story as a whole is new and compelling. Apart from some missing interpunction (periods at the ends of sentences) the only minus of this book is that there is no sequel.

About Jana

Wicca is mijn religie, achteraf gezien is dat altijd al zo geweest. Ik heb het geluk gehad mensen te leren kennen waarmee het goed klikte. In 1984 hebben zij me ingewijd in een Gardnerian coven. Anders was ik alleen verder gegaan. Mijn ideeën over de rol van man en vrouw komen in wicca terug. Zo ook mijn ideeën over het belang van natuur en milieu: ik vier de jaarfeesten en eet de groenten van het seizoen. En de Wiccan Rede ('Doe wat je wilt, mits het niemand schaadt') was al mijn lijfspreuk voor ik wicca leerde kennen.
