Richard Harland
Few Words From the Author/Publisher:
Ferren and the Angel is the book I was born to write! The first ten pages came to me in a dream long, long ago - I was Ferren, looking out at the war between Heaven and Earth going on in the night sky, seein g the angel shot down and hurtling towards me. But then I had to fill in the background - years of research into the traditional lore of angelology, followed by many versions and many stages as I filled in the world and story. In the meanwhile, I had many other fantasy novels published, including Worldshaker and Liberator by Simon & Schuster in the US. Many awards too, including the Prix Tam Tam du Livre Jeunesse in France. But worling on Ferren and the Angel was a long process, until I finally dug out the novel it was always meant to be!
