A pocketful of crows  Cover Image Book Book

A pocketful of crows / Joanne M. Harris ; [illustrated by Bonnie Helen Hawkins].

Harris, Joanne, 1964- (author.). Hawkins, Bonnie Helen, (illustrator.).

Summary:

I am as brown as brown can be/And my eyes as black as sloe/I am as brisk as brisk can be/And wild as forest doe. (The Child Ballads, 295) So begins a beautiful tale of love, loss and revenge. Following the seasons, A Pocketful of Crows balances youth and age, wisdom and passion and draws on nature and folklore to weave a stunning modern mythology around a nameless wild girl. Only love could draw her into the world of named, tamed things. And it seems only revenge will be powerful enough to let her escape.
