children’s fantasy story
The Breathing Wheel
Abrand new children’s fantasy story is about to be published by Magic Oxygen Publishing.
The book has been written by local author
and musician; Anthony Ravenwood of Easton Maudit. ‘The Breathing Wheel’ takes the reader back in time to 1602, where an eccentric old man named Gronwolfe built a flour-mill in a sleepy Welsh valley. During his time at the mill, Gronwolfe lost his mind, and mill workers began to ‘disappear’. The old man cursed the mill and the valley to destroy itself in 300 years time. Now, it is 1902, and the mill ownership has been passed to the Isaf family. Before long, strange happenings begin to occur, the waterwheel becomes possessed with Gronwolfe’s curse and the mill workers that ‘disappeared’ under Gronwolfe’s employment begin to re-appear in strange bodies causing havoc. The pressure’s on to save everyone before the curse takes hold, but it’s not easy! The quest opens up a whole new world that the Isaf family never knew existed, and it needs a ‘miracle’ to turn things around. The idea for the book came from a family holiday way back in 1987, when Anthony was inspired by visiting a creepy old watermill in North Wales.
The book has been brought to life with some wonderful illustrations and a musical soundtrack which Anthony hopes to perform live next year.
When the book is published, Anthony will be doing events at local libraries, schools, and watermills, open to the public. www.breathingwheel.co.uk
