THE DUNCTON CHRONICLES

book 1 'Duncton Wood, book 2 'Duncton Quest', book 3 'Duncton Found'.

Duncton Wood

She stood there thinking of him and it seemed like she was looking right into his heart. He couldn't remember any other mole ever looking at him that way, curiously, compassionately, friendly. Suddenly she came forward and touched him with her paw, or rather stroked his shoulder. It didn't last more than a single second, but he would remember it for the rest of his life...

The history of Bracken and Rebecca, born in the Holy Burrows of Duncton, of their love and their struggle. Based on the testimony of Spindle, the mole of Uffington, their lives tell of their fight for their existence, their prosperity, their doubts, their misery and their happiness..

It all happened deep down there. Under the great Stone. Amongst the oaks and beeches of the Duncton Wood...

Duncton Quest

When Tryfan, son of Bracken and Rebecca, returns to the sacred Burrows of Uffington, it is to find dreadful signs of death and destruction. For out of the chilly North have swarmed the grikes, a fanatic tribe of warrior moles bent on destroying all believers in the powers of the Stone.

Brave Tryfan's duty is clear - to muster and protect the few remaining Stone followers from the evil that seems certain to engulf them. With only a frail and timid mole named Spindle for company, he sets off on an epic journey...

Duncton Found

The ruthless war waged against the Stone has almost been won by the disciples of the Word - only wild Siabod and mysterious Beechenhill still hold out, and everywhere the followers of the Stone go in peril of their lives.

Yet in the shadows of Duncton Wood a new light is shining. For the Stone Mole has come, to revive the moles' faith in themselves and in the ancient power of the Stone to defeat and deny the evil Word. But it is a task that will demand a greater sacrifice than any mole has yet had to face...
