Travel Light


A REDISCOVERED FANTASY CLASSIC - INTRODUCED BY SAMANTHA SHANNON''No one knows better how to spin a fairy tale than Naomi Mitchison'' OBSERVER''I felt, very powerfully, that I had been waiting for Travel Light'' AMAL EL-MOHTAR, author of THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR''Disarmingly familiar, like a memory only half-recalled. You will love this book'' HOLLY BLACK, author of BOOK OF NIGHT''Perhaps her nurse turned into a bear and carried her away into the forest. Perhaps she was brought up by bears and dragons. Perhaps it was better for her in the end than being a king''s child.''''That was never the story,'' said Modolf. ''Forget the story,'' said Halla. Halla is the daughter of a king, cast out as a baby into a world of danger and enchantment. She is raised by bears, lives as a dragon, converses with Valkyries and avoids troublesome heroes. But the time of myth is passing, and Odin All-Father offers Halla a choice: will she stay dragonish and hoard wealth and possessions, or will she travel light?Weaving folklore, fairy tale and Norse myth into a shimmering, witty and slyly subversive tapestry, Travel Light is a rediscovered gem of classic fantasy writing - perfect for fans of Tolkien, Philip Pullman and Ursula K. Le Guin.
