THE CROWFIELD CURSE...By Pat Walsh...

This book is about a boy called William, who lives at the abbey and  is an orphan (after a fire that all his family were in)
when he finds a hob (a sort of cat like creature that speaks english) injured in the woods, He (with the help of Brother Snail) nurse it back to health...
One day a leper (called Jacobus bone) and his servent (Shadlock) come to the Abbey things start to change...
To be honest this is a really weird book about magic and mystery, I didnt like it, I gave it a 3/10 SS
