"Blackcock's Feather" is about a man who overtook a garrison and went off with twenty fiery haired maidens and bloodily killed soldiers to get them or so the story goes. Blackcock's Feather is a man with a hatchet face, sullen look and sword at the ready.
Lovely story of two children who get lost in a hazardous winter crossing of an Alpine pass after visiting their grandparents in a neighboring village. Full of beautiful details about the lives of the hardy villagers, and their love for their families and their mountain home.
