Julia Eccleshare's Pick of the Month November 2022
Award -winning Levi Pinfold tells a haunting tale of enchantment and entrapment in a simple, beautifully formed text and his exquisite and atmospheric illustrations. On a journey through a hot and dry landscape a young girl and her brothers stop to pick flowers. While the brothers are led on to a forbidding palace where their thirst is quenched by plenty of drink and they are cooled by a swim in a beautiful pool, the young girl holds back. She alone avoids being enchanted by the Teller who rules the palace. While the boys are transformed into white birds she makes a deal that saves her life and allows her to bring her brothers home to safety. Levi Penfold’s illustrations set the unsettling tone of the story while also providing readers with scope for endless imagination.
