内容简介
Duncton Wood is the story of a quest
into the nature of love and greed, of
oppression and liberty, of integrity,
grace, and of the power of the spirit.
Here, in an epic fantasy of the
highest order, William Horwood be-
stows upon the world of moles a mythic
history that overflows with richness and
fascination, involving the same mo-
mentous struggles between Good and
Evil that have always plagued human-
kind.
The moles of Duncton Wood are a
varied lot. There are the aggressive
Westenders, the independent Eastsiders,
and the secretive and sickly Marsh-
enders. Despite their differences, all are
members of the same, once proud and
famous molesystem, and all are tyran-
nized by Mandrake of Siabod-a mole so
powerful and senselessly destructive
that his name is a curse on those who
utter it.
The source of the evil that spreads
throughout Duncton lies tot solely in
Mandrake, however, but also in the
growing disinterest in the traditions and
rites surrounding the great stillstone at
the heart of the ancient order.
It is in the shadow of that towering
stillstone that Bracken and Rebecca.
