Granule Speck, the Witch and the Princess Clive Owen Barry

This is the second book of the 'Granule Speck' series. It was early spring in the year 1558 and a cold wintry wind was blowing across the battlefield. The two armies of King Cuthbert and King Ahron face each other, but this was to be a battle that should never have taken place. Would it be the impetuous actions of Prince Jesmond, youngest of the three Royal brothers that might save them all from imminent disaster? Unbeknown to any of those facing each other on the cold wet battlefield that day, on the farther side of the old and ancient woods lived the old crone, busy creating malevolent forces within her evil spells. Obsessed by her grief and adamant that she would be the one to destroy not only the Kingdom but bring suffering and starvation to the lives of all the many innocent people living within it. Can the three of them, Granule Speck, happy old hobgoblin and champion to the wildlife within the old and ancient woods, Gwynn, the pretty daughter of the Kings giant woodsman, or in fact the young Prince Jesmond himself, be able to combat the many forces of danger and evil hiding within this ancient woodland? This is a tale of good over evil, of everlasting friendships and never forgetting of course, the strongest of all the emotions being love.
