D. Britton

    Dorothy Britton put diep uit haar ervaringen die oosterse en westerse culturen overbruggen, en creëert werken die de schoonheid en spiritualiteit van Japan verkennen. Haar schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door een poëtische gevoeligheid, die lezers een intiem inkijkje biedt in de nuances van de Japanse esthetiek en het Japanse denken. Ze blinkt uit in het vertalen van complexe culturele en artistieke tradities naar toegankelijke en boeiende proza. Brittons unieke perspectief maakt haar een belangrijke stem voor het begrijpen van interculturele artistieke expressie.

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?
