Children's & young adult fiction & true stories
The Last of the High Kings
by Kate Thompson
Description
The young hero of the award-winning The New Policeman is now an adult, and his own children are already dispaying their own types of eccentric behaviour, particularly eleven-year-old Jenny, who dislikes shoes and forgets to go to school, and spends as mcuh time as she can up on the hilltop, talking to a ghost.
'Her re-imagining of Irish folklore playfully braids modern life with ancient magic, as she poses intelligent questions about the nature of man and stewardship of the environment.' - Publishers Weekly

Liminal Books
Liminal Books is a new imprint set up by Whitbread award winning author Kate Thompson to publish her books, both new and backlist. The imprint is expanding to carry books with a similar sensibility written by other authors. ‘Liminal’ refers to thresholds, both interior and exterior, and the word has been chosen to define the themes in the publishing list. In some cases the liminal element is mystical or magical: in others it represents borders, whether they be geographical, social or political.
