Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sylvan Queen, Vol. 2 of 3
Madge generally lingered a little when she went to fetch water from the spring. For, where it welled up from the turf and moss, a large dark pool, smooth as crystal, Spread, shadowed by a thick growth of drooping birch and moun tain ash, every leaf of which was pictured back on the still surface underneath. She stooped over the brink now, and dipped the brown earthenware crock into the pool, and with her round strong arm drew it up, dripping and heavy. But when she had set it down on the turf beside her, she leaned again over the liquid mirror, and gazed her fill at the face which, as the waters stilled themselves, quivered into form beneath her eyes.
