maddydog Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I can vaguely remember reading a children's book at school when I was around 10, so 1980ish. I don't remember finishing it and it's really bugging me!! I seem to remember the lead character was a young teenage girl. Timeline I'm thinking around the Dark ages or maybe even Iron Age, I can recall references to honey and mead production. The community the girl lived with were largely confined to the village due to a threat (wraithes?) in the wilderness. The only other thing I can recall is a giant (possibly female) buried underground though the outline visible as hills. Trigger any memories? Thanks!

That bit sounds very familiar, but I'm sorry, I can't name the book. I'll have a think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
