About the Book

'Then a boy, pale as death, rushed into the hall, uttering a wild scream of terror. "Death and another are closely pursuing me!"' Sintram spends his life torn between the life he leads in his father's castle, where they keep alive many of the more violent Viking traditions of their ancestors, and that of the pious lifestyle of his mother and the Chaplain of Drontheim. When distant French relations, in the form of the infamous Folko of Montfaucon and his lady-wife Gabrielle, come to Norway and become guests of his father, Sintram's life is further complicated by his wish to become a knight as chivalrous as Folko and his infatuation with the beautiful Gabrielle. With the ever reliable Rolf at his side, Sintram must navigate the wildness in his nature, and his native landscape, in a bid to find the cause of the nightmares he experiences every Christmastide, and the true identities of the Crazy Pilgrim and the Little Master.
About the Author: Friedrich de la Motte Fouque (1777 - 1843) was a German writer of the romantic style. Although not originally intended for a military career, Fouque gave up his university studies at Halle to join the army, however, the rest of his life was largely devoted to literary pursuits. His trilogy of plays - The Hero of the North (1910), which included Sigurd the Dragon Slayer, Sigurd's Revenge, and Aslauga - was the first modern German dramatisation of the Nibelung legend. The trilogy brought Fouque to the attention of the public, and had a considerable influence on subsequent versions of the story, such as Richard Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung. Fouque's subsequent literary activity was divided between his interests of medieval chivalry and northern mythology. Between 1810 and 1815, Fouque's popularity was at its peak, during which time Undine, the best known of Fouque's considerable body of work, appeared. Fouque has influenced many authors, including Robert Louis Stevenson, and his works are referred to in those such as Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Jo's Boys."
