A proposito di questo titolo
Jack o’ Hearts is the top card player in the parish and is feeling pretty sure of himself. When he is challenged to a card game with stakes higher than high by a mysterious green man, well, Jack can’t resist. Sure, he’s never lost a tournament yet, has he?
Jack is as saucy as saucy can be, and he’s twice as lucky as that - but the game is trickier than it looks. Luckily, Jack finds he’s got an ace up his sleeve: the menacing green man’s beautiful daughter Ann. She’s got as much magic as her father (or so that enchantment crowd says), and she likes the look of Jack.
A hilarious reimagining of a traditional Newfoundland folktale, Jack and the Green Man is jam-packed with magic, romance, transformations, impossible tasks, unforgettable characters, a love ballad or two, and the ever-present threat of Jack’s head ending up on a spear.
This audiobook includes a special treat - be sure to listen in to the end!
