The Worm in the Well by William Mayne



Synopsis -
Granny Shaftoe tried to them. A witch she may have been, but she spoke the truth. Meric, proud and fearless, had no time for soothsayers, ignored her wisdom...and was nver seen again.

Robin missed his friend, and spoke of him often to his son, Alan, and the foundling child Margaret. Before long, these children, too, went deep into the forest to fish from the well. And they met Granny Shaftoe along the way...

Review -
The book was slow moving as it was continually setting the scene for future chapters. Overall the book was ok. 3 out of 5.
