Connecting with Spanish roots

A TEEN novel billed as an ‘historical adventure’ has been released by a UK-based Spanish author.

The Moon Worshippers focuses on life in the Basque country in the seventh century and the history behind the rule of Roman Emperor Charlemagne.

Author Aitor Echevarria, now based in Leeds, wrote the book based on his experiences living in the Basque country as a child.

“There are no other books like this for young readers and very little is written about the Basques,” the school headteacher, now retired, said.

 The Moon Worshippers is available at www.troubador.co.uk and from Amazon.
