Description
Norse twins Jan and Brus set out to go a-Viking (raid and seek treasure). Shipwreck, kidnapping, survival and adventure beset them. Finding themselves no longer with a father, they use their identical looks to exchange places so one is always free and one must bow to an evil master, the Black Fox of Lorne. This “twin-ness" serves as a tool for us readers: we see Norse vs Scott culture, values and religion; evil vs good; revenge vs compassion. The twins become involved in a quest to undo their enemy, but find a home and a treasure of an eternal kind. Written and illustrated by master story teller, Marguerite de Angeli, this 1956 Newberry Honor Award winner takes you on an adventure: equally mental and spiritual. 5 1/2"x 8 1/2", 186 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
Publisher's Description of Black Fox of Lorne
Yes, it's true...we are reprinting this favorite from a favorite author! Set in the 11th century, twin boys leave Norway with their father and his entire household to build a new life in Britain. However, their ships crash on the shore of Scotland and they meet death and danger in the lands of the Black Fox. The boys use their wits and their natural talents to persevere and eventually accept the land and religion of the Scots. Okay, the story is way better than that retelling, but I can't give it all away -- right? A Newbery Honor Book winner in 1957, we humbly re-present it to today's young readers!
