About the Book

From the author of the beloved classic The Indian in the Cupboard, a fourteenth-century tale of a vengeful Scottish laird and the Chinese woman who works as his servant, a medieval tragedy and tale of retribution – The Dungeon is a powerful story from a writer of great skill and potency. In the aftermath of a murderous savagery between two rival Scottish lairds, Bruce MacLennan commands the building of a castle with a dungeon below. During its construction, he travels to the faraway and then almost unknown land of China, where he joins a troop of mercenary soldiers – all to distract him from his memories. In a poor teahouse, he encounters the child Peony, and, on impulse, buys her to be his attendant. Despite his harshness toward her, she serves him faithfully. After many adventures, they return to Scotland, where MacLennan's castle – and his planned revenge – await him. Within these dark walls, Peony finds a new life and unexpected happiness. For MacLennan the time has come to fill the dungeon with its destined prisoner. But he does not dream of the terrible twist of fate – one that will not lock away his old enemy – but the most precious person in his life. Celebrated author Lynne Reid Banks takes us back to the fourteenth century in an epic story of one lord's bitter struggle, his quest for vengeance, and the tragic awakening of his frozen heart.

About the Author :
Lynne Reid Banks became famous in 1962 with the publication of her young adult novel, The L-Shaped Room. Since then she has written numerous books for children published by Penguin and Collins, including Harry the Poisonous Centipede and its sequel, Harry the Poisonous Centipede's Big Adventure; Alice by Accident; and Angela and Diabola. She lives with her husband in Dorset, England.

Review :
“Throughout the novel, the reader witnesses MacLennan ‘poised between good and evil, between mercy and vengeance’; the same can be said of Banks’s compelling, often brutal, and heartbreaking tale.” Horn Book Magazine "Fans of Michael Cadnum’s gore-splattered medieval tales, or readers with a taste for grim gothics, may find food for thought in Banks’ portrait of a tortured man who is, in the end, both villain and victim.” ALA Booklist
