Torrie and the Snake-Prince is a fantasy novel for children aged 8-12, with appeal to fantasy lovers of all ages. Torrie and the Snake-Prince tells of the adventures of Torrie, oldest of the Old Things of the Wild Forest, and Wren, a lame pedlar-girl, when the mysterious minstrel Rookfeather sends them to rescue Prince Liasis, who has been kidnapped by a sorcerer and turned into a snake.
