Book SynopsisThis is a book like no other: a magical tapestry of folk tales, woven together to build a world that is as strange yet familiar as a half-remembered dream.

Through this world, Greychild must journey in search of his mother: from the village of Brunt Boggart, down the treacherous Pedlar Man's track, all the way to distant Arleccra, a city of treasures and temptation. If you follow him, a part of you will never come back.Trade Review"Utterly wonderful... Now that I've stepped into Brunt Boggart, I know that part of me will never leave it." -- Kevin Crossley-Holland, author of The Arthur Trilogy"David Greygoose conjures a rich, primordial dreamtime...
