A captivating dark tale from the Border reivers’ period written with a gentle rhythm and occasional rhyme. The drama is recounted through a storyteller who speak with a light Borders’ dialect, and whose embellishments and imaginings often wander into the fantastic. It’s criminal this book isn’t more widely read. Janni Howker writes so, so well.
This probably falls into the YA category, and it’s certainly an easy enough read, yet the family dynamics and the handling of teenage boy hormone-time is superbly handled – far better than some of the in yer face stuff I’ve scanned recently.
Janni Howker can write the hind legs off a mysterious quadruped, which is so important to my enjoyment of a novel. I quite easily lost myself in the small-town-within-the-moors. So much so, I was halfway done with the book before I noticed it’s written in the first person narrative; something I usually avoid.
Great storytelling, and great writing are hard to beat.… (altro)

Als de fabriek gesloten wordt in Haverston, het plaatsje waar Bill Coward woont, raken zijn vader en grootvader hun baan kwijt. Iedereen is van slag, omdat bijna iedereen bij de fabriek werkte. Ook maakt een mysterieus beest de omgeving onveilig, eerst raakte de grootvader van Bill zijn kippen kwijt, later zijn het schapen bij meerdere boeren. De meeste mensen denken dat het een grote hond is, maar Bill gelooft dat niet en gaat op zoek naar het Beest.

The real tragedy is that this isn’t more widely read. It had no weaknesses at all.
