The Serpent’s Cave
Illustrated by Alan Marks
The king is enchanted by his beautiful new wife. But Queen Inga hates
his children from the start. Playing sweet tunes on her bone harp, she
persuades the king to send Hugh far away – and Maisie is left alone, in
terrible danger…
“A beautiful story for newly-confident readers…Turnbull’s style is
poetic and resonant, befitting the lyricism of the tale, and is
well-matched by Alan Marks’ atmospheric pen-and-ink washes.”
