The dungeon by
Lynne Reid Banks
Published by Collins
Set in the 14th century this is the chilling story of a man intent
on revenge. It has an air of menace from the start, as
McLennan stands admiring the dungeon he
has
had built as the first part of his new castle. While his
serfs complete the castle McLennan travels to China, where he buys a
young girl as a slave. He treats her with casual neglect
and does not notice that he is becoming attached to her.
The ending is predictably tragic. |
