Bertram of Butter Cross by Jeffrey Barlough

Description: The fourth installment in author Jeffrey E. Barlough's 'Western Lights' series of fantasy-mysteries, 'Bertram of Butter Cross' is a magical tale about yearning and loss and the tyranny of years. What is the hideous, snake-necked creature that has been roaming Marley Wood? Who are the phantom riders seen plunging through the wood by moonlight? Above all, who is the strange small boy found living in the ruined hunting-lodge deep inside the forest? Is he really little Bertram Longchapel, the child who had gone missing from the nearby town of Market Snailsby - some thirty-five years before?
- The Western Lights books have been widely praised for their imaginative setting, eccentric characters, droll humor, and unconventional storylines. Return now to the Ice Age world of the 'sundering,' and join Jemma Hathaway and her brother Richard, Ada Henslowe, Sir Hector MacHector and their friends as they struggle to solve the unsolvable - the mystery of Marley Wood.
