Frost Hollow Hall: 'The Queen of Historical Fiction at her finest.' Guardian

Product Information

Auch wenn das Tempo an sich eher langsam ist und keine große dramatische Wirkung entfaltet, blieb die Spannung für mich immer bestehen.

The story is delivered in an enticing way that leaves the reader hungry for more, to the point where you can easily read the book in a single day. Tilly, unlike the rest of the village girls, goes because she never backs down from a dare and not because she’s ‘silly’ over Will.With classics such as Ted Hughes's The Iron Man and award-winners including Emma Carroll's Letters from the Lighthouse, Faber Children's Books brings you the best in picture books, young reads and classics. Under the main plot, there is a romantic subplot weaving through the story as Will shows his true feelings for Tilly.

Emma Carroll also describes the settings in such fine detail that you can imagine that you are there and feel the creepy atmosphere. Several years later I still believe that this book deserves far more attention than it has had to date. While Will’s first impression is greatly influenced by Tilly’s mind-set I did actually like him and this only increased as the story continued. Frost Hollow Hall is more than a ghost story; it’s a story that lives and breathes, and paint wonderful pictures, and it’s a story about love, family, loss, regret, and learning to let go, told beautifully, with both subtlety and charm.You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods. This is such a beautiful book and a superior piece of writing that I will be eternally grateful that I've read it. Meanwhile, Tilly must control her nerve while working at this scary place, while continuing to discover the truth! Tilly's life takes an unexpected turn after she nearly drowned which results in her taking a job as a housemaid at Frost Hollow Hall, a home with a tragic past, and uncovers its secrets. I wanted more - probably because I couldn't help but picture him as a younger version of Kit 'you know nothing Jon Snow' Harington from Game of Thrones.
