Ga'Hoole Tree, the legendary place where ordinary owls are

darkness a hero will rise! It began as a dream. A quest for the

brave, true and wise.

作者简介

　　Kathryn Lasky has long had a fascination with owls. This led
her to research their life and behaviour, thinking that she would
write a non-fiction book about owls to be illustrated with her
husband's photographs. She soon realised, though, that this would
be rather difficult since owls are shy and nocturnal creatures --
so she wrote a fantasy series about them instead.
