The Stone and The Flute

Quatrième de couverture

NB : Il ne s'agit pas de la version originale, qui est allemande, mais d'une traduction en anglais.

In the country of Fraglund lives a young boy called Listener, a boy destined to inherit a precious stone and a magic flute which will help him understand life's deepest mysteries. This is his story.

As a young man, Listener is blind to the true value of his gifts. Before he can fully appreciate them he must endure many years of adventure and misadventure in his travels beyond Fraglund: with Gisa, evil mistress of Barlebogue castle; as a servant to the minstrel Barlo and later as a minstrel himself; with the beautiful and ambitious Marzida, whose magic will commit him to the life of a faun; and with Arnilukka, in whose eyes he finds the colours of his mysterious stone.

As he grows older, Listener slowly realizes that his life is caught up in a web of connections far deeper than he had at first presumed.
