こんにちは！日下部です。
先週は、お休みをいただき、映画「A Quiet Place」をみた後、Sam Smithのコンサートに行ってきました！最高の一日でした！
さてさて、今日は、O.R.Mellingさんのご紹介です。昔、二子玉川の「紀伊国屋書店」をぶらついていたときに目に入った本、こういう出会いは滅多にないんですが、中身も最高！
妖精の香りのする本です。皆様も是非お楽しみください。
O.R.Melling
Born in Ireland, raised and educated in Toronto, Canada along with my seven sisters and two brothers, now living back in Ireland again. I have a beautiful daughter, Findabhair, doing her M.A. in Marine Biology and a beautiful cat, Emma, who would love to eat the fish Finn (great name for a marine biologist, eh?) wants to protect. My favourite author of all time is CS Lewis. I’ve read everything he ever wrote including non-fiction and adult fiction, but the Chronicles of Narnia are the best of all.
The Hunter’s Moon
Canadian Gwen and her Irish cousin, Findabhair, have long planned a summer of backpacking around Ireland, visiting sites out of the old legends of fairy folk. Little do they know that it is the summer of the Hunter’s Moon, a dangerous time for mortals who meddle with the kingdom of Faerie. One night, camping out on old ruins, Finn is kidnapped by the Faerie king, who wants her for a bride and possible sacrifice. It is up to Gwen, the more indecisive of the two, to rescue her cousin. Beautifully written, romantic, exciting, and evocative of both modern-day and mystical Ireland, this is a treat for girl fantasy readers.
