Hi everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me. I am looking for a book I read in Primary school. I am sure it was called The Prophecy, but I could be wrong. All I remember is that the main character had a dead brother named Cadfael who had been killed by a horse kicking him.

I have searched google but keep finding the Brother Cadfael chronicles which is not what I am looking for.

The book must have been published in the late 80's, early 90's.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Sorry Lindsey, it doesn't ring any bells with me.

How did I miss this thread? I love book hunts!

First off, any idea of the author's nationality? Brit, Ozzie, Kiwi?

Did you read it FOR school or while at school?

I also did a hunt for it when I saw this the other day and came up with nothing. Would need more info.

Yes I had a look too with no result. Do you have an idea about the genre; might help?

Google books advanced search might help if we have more info.

Would help even more if I could stop getting it to show me the page in frikken Russian!

Hi all,

I read it while at school. It is a fantasy book. I can't remember too many other details except that the main character is a farm boy who has to fulfill a prophecy and travel somewhere. He stays with some elves and had a brother who died and who the main character was sure the prophecy was meant to apply to.

That's all I remember. I remember it being really good and was hoping to read it again.

Put as much info as you can into google books advanced search, Lindsay.

Sorry, I don't recognise the details.

Could this be it Lindsay?

Don't know if it's got all the information in, GR blurb is minimal though...

Not many fantasies use that trope ;)

Pretty sure its not Pawn of Prophesy. I've read that many times, and there is no Cadfael in it, and no brother either.

Bother, sorry! I'll have another look tomorrow :)

I think I remember it, but not the author which is really useful... sorry.

this group might be helpful if you haven't tried it already

Can I ask a rough date when you read it? Would help a lot too.

Thanks everybody.

I think I read it early 90's. 91, 92 time.

I have a vague memory that the cover was green with a white heading.

I will try google again.

i'd definitely try that group - can be very useful.

Presumably it's out of print, but there are several libraries (I think the Bodlean is one) that keep copies or at least info on published books. Maybe they have catalogues.
But are you sure you want to re-read? I've done this on a couple of occasions – read a book I read long ago – and all it did was ruin a good memory.
