This prequel to "Wise Child" recounts the childhood and spiritual initiation of Juniper, who will in turn pass down the secret teachings of the "dorans" to Wise Child. Readers will again enjoy the details of herb-gathering, spell-casting and mystic rituals. An atmospheric story that will both satisfy confirmed fantasy fans and involve readers new to the genre."-- "Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.
