Description
The Hob and the Deerman is set in a place where the everyday world and the Otherworld meet. Crowfield Abbey lies in ruins, haunted by a ghostly figure known as the crawling man. When Brother Walter returns to the abbey, he finds it desolate and troubled. A young girl's ghost waits for her father, while a boggart lurks in the drain and statues disappear one by one. The mysterious Deerman of the forest is also present, and with the help of a village boy and a stone hob brought to life, Brother Walter attempts to unravel old secrets and right an ancient wrong. However, time is running out, and it's not always easy to tell friends from enemies. This first book in the Hob Tales series marks the beginning of a new story set in Crowfield Abbey. In this book, the boundaries between reality and the supernatural are blurred, leading to unexpected events and surprising revelations.
