Steyn reyne in thine herte, Staye thee hol and soint, Me desire wot I none, Blessed be thou and ful of blisse!The book was just as good as the others in the previous series, the Duncton Chronicles. I was inspired to read the following books - Duncton Rising and Duncton Stone! I recommend the books to anybody!

Best book you could possibly read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Duncton Tales: Volume One of "the Book of Silence" (Paperback)
All of William Horwood's books are powerful and filling you with such an urge to go fourth and read more. You certaintly aren't wasting any time picking up this book, Duncton Tales.I love how the moles will die under the Stone, how they would rather fall into their blood than see their beloved faith - Stone, be mistreated. I enjoyed how they set in the mole's religion perfectly, to me. I hope more people will turn themselves to this awesome book, and learn of love, hate, death and faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars
On par with Tolkien's Lord of the Ring series.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Duncton Tales: Volume One of "the Book of Silence" (Paperback)
An entire world centered around an animal I never thought much about. Wonderful characters, complicated stories, good against evil all taking place in mole tunnels. Satisfyingly thick volumes that made you wish they were longer. I'm glad I discovered Harwood's two trilogy's about Duncton Wood after they were written. I wouldn't have had the patience to wait while they were being written.
