A GREEN AND ANCIENT LIGHT
A gorgeous fantasy in the spirit of Pan's Labyrinth and John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things.
Set in a world similar to our own, during a war that parallels World War II, A Green and Ancient Light is the stunning story of a boy who is sent to stay with his grandmother for the summer in a serene fishing village. Their tranquility is shattered by the crash of a bullet-riddled enemy plane, the arrival of grandmother's friend Mr. Girandolea man who knows the true story of Cinderella's slipperand the discovery of a riddle in the sacred grove of ruins behind grandmother's house. In a sumptuous idyllic setting and overshadowed by the threat of war, four unlikely allies learn the values of courage and sacrifice.
Frederic S. Durbin is a writer and novelist of fantasy and horror. His first novel, Dragonfly, was nominated for an International Horror Guild Award for Best First Novel.
