Candlefasts by William Mayne
The story which began when David and Keith first met a drummer boy from another time reaches its climax. Introducing David's outrageous younger sister Lyddy, the story moves between the past and the future, solving mysteries from earlier stories, and revealing magic everywhere. Rich with resonances, this is a glorious novel - Mayne at his best.
Mayne has kept faith with his original vision, and his characters, and his styleHe must have influenced a good few writers since he began publishing almost half a century ago, but no one writes as he does. * Times Educational Supplement *
So deeply I became involved with his characters and their interplay that the climax and resolution, when they came, were devastating in their effect. Seldom have I been so greatly moved by a fictional tragedy. * The Junior Bookshelf *
