Red boards, spine titled in gilt. Cloth slightly stained, spotting to edges. Good copy in spine-faded, price-clipped dust-wrapper. "The heronry at Mootwood where Garth is reared cannot be his home for ever. At Blaefen he discovers the lethal powers of his spear-bill and is then nudged out to seek his own means of survival. But his staple food lies beneath the ice and snow of a hard winter, and he drifts into a stupor, close to death. He comes across an eel, equally comatose, which he greedily consumes.
