Friday, September 30th, 2011The Thirteen Treasures Trilogy
Saturday, April 30th, 2011
British author Michelle Harrison has recently completed her Thirteen Treasures trilogy with the release of The 13 Secrets. The 13 Treasures
won the Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize in 2009, and the second book, The 13 Curses
was also well received. The stories follow the fortunes of three friends, Tanya, Fabian and Red and their entanglements with the Faery Folk around the mysterious Elvesden Manor. It is a highly entertaining trilogy, full of suspense, mystery and danger, but also well researched fairy lore and a believable sense of place appeals to older readers who like a good adventure story.
Michelle also recently wrote about her top 10 books featuring bad fairies for The Guardian recently, which you can read here.
