Angelot du lac #1

A young boy stands his ground on a windswept, arrow-strewn battlefield, whirling what appears to be a sling as autumn leaves swirl around him — with a brooding castle silhouetted in the background, the cover immediately sets a vivid medieval atmosphere. Published in 1990 by Bayard Editions, this first volume of *Angelot du lac* — subtitled *Le temps des loups* — introduces what promises to be a gripping adventure series for younger readers drawn to the Middle Ages. Yvan Pommaux's clean, expressive artwork gives the lone boy a determined vulnerability that makes you want to follow him straight into the story.
