Lief the Lesser and HellA Fantasy Romance about the coming of age of Britain and the young people living at that time. Doggerland was the prosperous and powerful kingdom that connected Britain to Europe 8,000 years ago. But from great beginnings, it now lies drowned; lost forever, far below the cold waves of the North Sea. Its disappearance was caused by a great tsunami. So what about the people who lived in Doggerland? More importantly, what about the survivors? Part rhyme, part prose story, this wonderful story is reminiscent of Beowulf, The Tempest and Hunting of the Snark. |
