Description:
"One of my favorite books." --Neil Gaiman "In Preussler's masterpiece, the terror is real, the love sweet, and the suspense twisted tight." --J. Alison James "Like many of the classic children's books being reissued by New York Review Books, Krabat & the Sorcerer's Mill by Otfried Preussler has the potential to appeal to readers of various ages: nostalgia-seekers who enjoyed Anthea Bell's excellent translation when it was first published in the 1970s, and young aficionados of fantasy fiction who'll be happy to discover, in teenage hero Krabat, a worthy progenitor to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and Christopher Paolini's Eragon....For Krabat , he drew on the folk tales he loved as a child, basing the book on a Wendish legend. But it is Preussler's own storytelling mastery and gift for atmosphere that render this Bildungsroman-meets-Gothic horror both timeless and splendidly, creepily original." --Emma Garman, Words Without Borders "I have never been disappointed by a New York Review Children's Book and Krabat & the Sorcerer's Mill is no exception. . . . Krabat & the Sorcerer's Mill will delight kids who like adventures, mysteries, and magic. . . I enjoyed every word of this captivating story." -- Kids Lit Review
