DUNCTON WOOD

1st William Horwood Book

The story of a quest into the nature of love and greed, oppression and freedom, courage and corruption – and finally into the nature of grace and the power of the spirit… Despite their differences the moles of Duncton Wood are members of the same once-proud system but all are now tyrannised by Mandrake. Only in the shadow of the Stone, the inspiring half-forgotten symbol of a better past, can the strength to resist be found and led by Bracken. When he has the misfortune to fall in love with Rebecca, Mandrake’s daughter, life and death choices must be made and an extraordinary quest begins…
