Customer Reviews

Haunting, thrilling, satifying story and lovely pictures

This book really stayed with me, I bought at a school book fair just because I liked the drawings on the cover, and the art inside is magical. The story is also very satisfying to children, although a little scary, because the bad scary character gets his comeuppance. A classic book that I'm sorry to see out of print.

The Man Who Could Call Down Owls

This a fabulous book by one of my favorite authors. It's a story of good vs. evil in which kindness and goodness prevail. There are several types of owls and owl characteristics mentioned, making it a perfect engagement piece for an owl pellet dissection activity. The illustrations are dark and shadowy and fit the story perfectly. It is a sad, but beautiful story and very well worth reading!
