The Dreaming Spires

Beschreibung

What do you do when the troll at the end of your garden tells you everything you ever believed in is a fantasy and your fantasies are reality? When Jake moves from California to his new school in Oxford, he knows he is going to a different country, but he doesn't realize he is entering a whole new world. His first clue is when Gorm, a nine-foot, three-thousand-year-old Irish gnome, appears at the foot of his garden and gives him three special powers-powers that are of absolutely no use to him-or so he thinks. But when things start getting really weird and Jake discovers that there's an ancient prince from Tír na nÓg who is out to get not only him and the girl he is in love with but the whole of mankind, too, he also discovers that the powers Gorm has given him are more useful than he could ever have dreamed possible.

Autor

William Kingshart was born in London but his parents, whom he describes as 'bohemians', moved to Ibiza when he was two. He grew up on the smallest of the Balearic Islands, bare-foot, wild and uncombed. He did not attend school, but for four years had a governess who disappeared one day when William was 12. In his teens, he moved with his family to Cordoba on the Spanish mainland, where at 16 he got his first job, breaking in wild horses. At 19, still bare-foot, wild and uncombed, William moved to London, via Barcelona and Paris, to become a rock star. He is grateful to whatever gods watch over him for foiling that project. He retains a fond nostalgia for Led Zeppelin and the Eagles. He flirted with academia in his 30s and became an Incorporated Linguist, a Barrister at the Inner Temple, a psychologist and a Master Practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming. He has been married twice and has two beautiful daughters. He thinks he might live in the south of Spain, but he isn't sure.
