Ragllan and the curse of the black dog : the Wolfling chronicles

'Tonight is the night of the Big Moon: a time of grave danger for the Wolflings of Friston.

For once again, the Black Dog shall rise from the cursed forest and claim us all, one by one...' Wolflings are an elusive race of creature, endowed with arcane powers, and a strange craving for lettuce.

When their carefree lives are blighted by a curse, it seems that things will never be the same again.

That is, until a young Nature Spirit, Ragllan, the Red, comes to their aid. Guided by Winzel, a wise but batty old Wolfling, and a soothsaying cuckoo called Conker, Ragllan must use his shape shifting skills to seek the perpetrator of the curse - the Black Dog- beneath the eerie Forest of Ailsa and banish him to Winterland.

But he quickly discovers that things are not as straightforward as he first thought. For something lurks in the shadows of the wood: a dark entity hungry for revenge and willing to go to any lengths to corrupt the Wolflings' innocence, whatever the cost... "A magical kingdom of quirky, likeable characters and dark forces." "Full of poetry, humour and mystery, this is a highly entertaining read!"
