The text well-honed and rhythmic, and moves with terrific pace; a haunting and heroic adventure with appeal for boys and girls of 10 and above". (Elaine Williams TES)

Thousands of years ago the land is one dark forest. Its people are hunter-gatherers. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon: a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees, a demon determined to destroy the world.
Only one boy can stop it - 12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, Torak's father tells his son of the burden that is his. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirit's help to overcome it.
Torak is an unwilling hero. He is scared and trusts no one. His only companion is a wolf cub only three moons old, whom he seems to understand better than any human.
Theirs is a terrifying quest in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Geoff Taylor. Ilustrador. 1st Edition. First book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. First edition, first printing. A fine hardcover in a fine duswrapper. Signed and pawprinted by Michelle Paver. Also included is a Chronicles of Ancient Darkness Postcard. Michelle has only pawprinted a small amount of these books. She originally signed and pawprinted 100 copies as the basis of a competition, in which anyone lucky enough to find a copy would win a signed poster. In addition to this, Michelle has only signed and pawprinted a very small amount of Wolf Brother's on a few other occasions (much less than the original 100), this being one of those books. It is very uncommon to find a pawprinted book without it being personalised. Michelle kindly signed and pawprinted a few copies of Wolf Brother for us. The book is new and unread in fine condition with some minor toning to the page edges, as is common with books of this age****************All our books are packed with great care: Bubblewrapped and Boxed*****. Signed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: 000036
