Sealey Head is a small town on the edge of the ocean, a sleepy place where everyone hears the ringing of a bell no one can see. On the outskirts of town is an impressive estate, Aislinn House, where the aged Lady Eglantyne lies dying, and where the doors sometimes open not to its own dusty rooms, but to the wild majesty of a castle full of knights and princessesÂ… Average Rating:
 Rating: - McKillip does it againThis subtle and beautifully written novel fits perfectly in Ms. McKillip's canon of books.

Rating: - A place without doors, without dreamsA crumbling mansion with doors to another world, a small seaside town, and a mysterious bell that tolls every day at sunset where no bells are. With that to describe it, it's no wonder that "The Bell At Sealey Head" is a book by Patricia A. McKillip, spinner of hauntingly lyrical fantasies. And her newest book is no exception -- an exquisite magical mystery full of humour, secret doors, and a sorcerous power that is creeping into Sealey Head. A mysterious scholar -- Ridley ... Read More Rating: - The Bell at Sealy HeadSealey Head is no ordinary town. Every evening most of the townsfolk hear the tolling of a bell, no one knows why it rings or where it's at. It's been going on so long that many of the townspeople don't hear it anymore. Aislinn House on the edge of town harbors a mystery. It's a place where two worlds coexist, with few privy to its secret. On one side lies the quiet manor with its aging servants and ailing mistress, while on the other a princess and her subjects must perform strange ... Read More |
