Serafin: by Sophie Masson

Author: Sophie Masson

When the people of a small village discover the miraculous powers of the young woman they know as Catou, they decide to execute her. Only the miller's son, Frederick, defends her, and the two are forced to leave their village and seek refuge at the king's court, a journey filled with danger and discovery."'Witch!' There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to go. She could only stand and face them. Slowly, almost silently, the mob advanced. Catou could see the faces as they drew closer and closer: faces of people she had known from the first time she had opened her eyes on the world. . . . They hated her, she knew that. They hated her because they did not understand her."What are people saying about Serafin?"Serafin is one of the finest examples of Masson's powerful artistry. It's a work of haunting beauty that lingers in the mind and heart. By some unique, alchemical process, Masson evokes the material of ancient tales and transforms it into something entirely her own, and does it marvelously." Lloyd Alexander, Newbery Medal winner and author of The Black Cauldron and The High King"What I like about Serafin is the feeling that it isn't a fantasy so much as the realism of another world. There is a feeling of solid history here, the sense that the scenery won't fall over if the characters walk into it; but there's no danger of their doing that either because the narrative is itself securely anchored both in the ground of the old tale itself and in a solid and unobtrusive technique."
