Book description
When the evil Snow-Walker Gudrun steals Signi's soul on the eve of her
wedding, Kari knows it is his mother's sign to take up her final, most
dreadful confrontation - from which only one of them can emerge alive.
Together with his stalwart friends, Jessa, Brochael, Skapti and Hakon he
sets off to challenge Gudrun in her own land, beyond the rainbow bridge.
It's a journey few before have dared attempt -and from which none have
returned. . . Born in Newport, Catherine Fisher gained a B-ed at the
University of Wales and became a primary school teacher. She has written
poetry and a number of novels for young people. Both her poems and
novels have won awards, including the Welsh Arts Council Young Writers'
Prize 1989, the Cardiff International Poetry Competition 1989 and the
Tir na n'Og Prize 1995, and she was shortlisted for the Smarties Book
Prize in 1990. Darkhenge has been long listed for the Carnegie Medal.
