The Ransom of Dond by Siobhan Dowd (9780857560902)

Description - The Ransom of Dond by Siobhan Dowd

A previously unseen story by acclaimed, multi award-winning author, Siobhan Dowd, with exquisite artwork by Pam Smy.

Siobhan Dowd gave us four extraordinary novels before she died in 2007. This is her last story, a final gift to those who know and love her work, and a glittering invitation to those who have yet to discover it. Siobhan draws us irresistibly into Darra?s tiny emerald island world, lashed by white-tipped waves, at the mercy of the dark god, Dond. Only the truth and a mother?s kiss can set them free. This is a tale to be treasured, a haunting tale of love and fate and truth. Pam Smy?s beautiful two-colour drawings announce her as a leading children's illustrator and the astonishing blend of words and pictures takes us all into that timeless world of story. The Ransom of Dond comes to us like a gift from the past.
