The Princess & the Gargoyle
Об аудиокниге
‘Honour is purchased by the deeds we do.’
On the morning of the wedding of Princess Beatrice of the kingdom of Trasimene to the south of the brooding shadow of the Black Mountain, news was brought to the royal court that the feared one-eyed beast had broken free of his imprisonment and was rampaging through the land towards Trasimene. The beast was coming for Princess Beatrice, it was said, to avenge the loss of his right eye and the jewel she had stolen three years ago from the lair of the beasts in the Black Mountain.
But not all is as it seems in this fairy tale adventure about friendship and kindness, courage and honour, and the battles won by things other than superior numbers and might.
Can one recalcitrant princess save the kingdom of Trasimene from the evil at its gates?
Includes a bonus group discussion guide for reading groups and book clubs.

Mireille Pavane cannot recall exactly when she began messing about with books and literature but since then (brainwashed at a young age by the French and Russian writers and E.M. Forster), it has remained an abiding love. Mireille continues to scribble away in secret when not otherwise distracted by a professional career or gardening duties in her alternate life. She also has an unhealthy curiosity and fondness for footnotes which she attempts to curtail from time to time. Mireille is a member of the international and local chapters of the Village Idiots’ Guild.
