D. Britton Bücher
Dorothy Britton schöpft tief aus ihren Erfahrungen, die östliche und westliche Kulturen verbinden, und schafft Werke, die Japans Schönheit und Spiritualität erforschen. Ihr Schreiben zeichnet sich durch poetische Sensibilität aus und bietet den Lesern intime Einblicke in die Nuancen japanischer Ästhetik und Denkweise. Sie versteht es meisterhaft, komplexe kulturelle und künstlerische Traditionen in zugängliche und fesselnde Prosa zu übersetzen. Brittons einzigartige Perspektive macht sie zu einer wichtigen Stimme für das Verständnis interkulturellen künstlerischen Ausdrucks.
When a crow with the gift of the Old High Tongue flies into the isolated settlement of Ogley On Dunnett, he strikes up a friendship with farm boy, Avebury Durndle, who shares this gift. But the appearance of a huge and menacing troll in the vicinity creates fear and panic, prompting Crow, Avebury, Ovis Longstride and Ephraim Marley to journey to the mountains of the Snowlands, in order to seek help from the wizard, Grayfalard. As Ogley On Dunnett is attacked by brigands, the fates of Crow, the Durndle family and the troll are bound together in a battle to save the village. But will things ever be the same again?
