The Ropemaker
Overview & Summary
In the peaceful, magically protected Valley, cut off for twenty generations from the dangerous Empire beyond, young Tilja must journey with her grandmother and companions when the ancient spell begins to fail, seeking out the powerful sorcerer who first cast it -- and encountering a mysterious, shape-shifting figure known as the Ropemaker along the way. Peter Dickinson's Printz Honor novel is an inventive, richly imagined high fantasy about magic, time, and courage.
