Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Religion is important in the development of the four main characters, Cass, Thea, and Alan, teenagers from Philadelphia in 1951, and Sebastian, a young officer of the Queen's Guard, in Spain in 1491. Religion is also one of the ingredients in the interactions of secondary characters, several of whom are historical figures. The Magic Necklace and its resident sprite, the Djinni Maiden, are the fantasy part of the novel. They spirit the characters off to key times and places of Al-Andalus. As they discover the nature of the Necklace and Maiden, the main characters realize that they have been chosen. They are on a perilous quest affecting themselves and others across the centuries.

Biografía del autor

Robert H. Boyer received his PhD in English from the University of Pennsylvania in 1969 and spent the next 36 years teaching at St. Norbert College in Wisconsin. He has traveled extensively in Spain and the Philippines. Now retired, Bob continues to teach occasionally and write regularly. His publications include Visions and Imaginings: Classic Fantasy Fiction and Sundays in Manila, a memoir. Though he became well-practiced in the oral story-telling tradition, The Magic Necklace of Al-Andalus is his first novel. He attributes any successes to Barbara, his spouse of 53 years, with whom he resides in De Pere, WI.
