Synopses & Reviews
Set in very early Christian times,
Colman is a spellbinding fantasy of a faraway age, when the mystical and the commonplace walked hand in hand. The healer, Juniper, and her apprentice, Wise Child, are accused of witchcraft and forced to flee their small town. Wise Childs devoted cousin, Colman, escapes with them. This is his story of their arrival to the land of Junipers birth, where she is, in fact, a princess.
