I discovered this book the other day while digging through a pile. Turns out it's the ONLY book from my childhood I actually saved. I reread it again, and though it did not have the profound affect on me as an adult, I still remember how I felt reading it as a child. I'm convinced it's to this book that I owe my abiding love of fantasy and history. I'm actually searching for the author now...
In a fictional pre-Iron Age time, A young boy sets out into the winter woods with a blacksmith's daughter in search of her father and his older brother whom they believe to be a prisoners of the Wolf King, a feared and mysterious entity living in the surrounding mountains.I first read this story back in the 70's when my mother bought it for me from the Buy-a-Book program at school. I have remembered it for years and recently I bought it on eBay for my own son to read. Maybe it was my first novel? I don't know. But I can tell you this. It is a very fast paced book with chapter lengths which can be read to your child nightly. It is a little scary, I suppose. I mean there are wolves which, through most of the book, seem threatening. His father is a bit harsh to him but that might be era appropriate. The story is dark but ultimately satisfying when the hero eventually confronts the Wolf King. A great read for a 10 or 12 year old who is interested in something a little different then Harry Potter.
This is an excellent read that propelled me into a voracious appreciation for fiction with meaningful plots. I read this as a wee lad alongside Winds of Altair (Ben Bova) and A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine L'Engle) and The Castle of Llyr (Lloyd Alexander), but none of these classics held so heavy a tone as this relatively straight forward village-level plight. This is a story that made me become a story teller.
