Grasson,the great Golden Eagle,Monarch and familiar spirit of the Black Corrie, disliked change in a world that to him changed so little; the mountains in winter,white with snow,the small lochans, ice-gripped; the crying of the wind in storm; the grey rush of clouds up the glens.
Those things he understood because they had been with him always - like the note of the cuckoo in spring, and the purple flaming of the rhododendrons on the roadside.Yet now strange things were happening up at the House of the Black Corrie for a new keeper had come to the glens,a man from the south,whose sullen dourness set other men instinctively against him.Here then is a story of the remotely beautiful Highland glens where a man's strength is measured by his power over the creatures of the wild.And interwoven is the growing tender friendship of a boy for a girl,a boy from
the glens and a girl from the city who to begin with finds the lonely beauty of hill
and loch a frightening thing.9th book of a series of 13 by Chipperfield.
