About the book (from the dust jacket)
An enchantment that could come only from the pen of Ann Moray, Gervase has the lyricism and magic of fiction that endures.
Set in Maine in the last century, it is the story of a girl-child, considered “strange-in-the-head.’ and the abandoned fawn she adopts and nurtures to maturity.
From this simple framework a wealth of theme spreads like tendrils to form an espalier of purpose and design. Miss Moray, with the gift of a born storyteller has created a world rich in wonder and tinged with joyousness that will appeal to readers of all ages.
