A Pocketful of Crows by Joanne M. Harris EPUB



I am as brown as brown can be,

And my eyes as black as sloe;

I am as brisk as brisk can be,

And wild as forest doe.

(The Child Ballads, 295)



So begins a beautiful tale of love, loss and revenge. Following the seasons, A Pocketful of Crows balances youth and age, wisdom and passion, and draws on nature and folklore to weave a stunning modern mythology around a nameless wild girl.



Only love could draw her into the world of named, tamed things. And it seems only revenge will be powerful enough to let her escape.



This is a stunning and original modern fairy tale.
