Auragole of the Mountains: Book One of Aurogole's Journey

I haven't read such a lovely, captivating and enthralling story - it goes over four books - since I read 'Lord of the Rings' many years ago. Also, I have given the book as a present to a number of people, mostly teenagers, and they all loved it. Auragole is the story of a young man growing up in a world without modern technology. After his parents died, the 18 year old Auragole sets out into a world unknown to him to find his uncle, following his mother's last wish. He meets many outer and inner challenges, set in some sort of 'fantasy world'. It's about friendship, and relationships with other people, the choosing of inner values and how those inner values then shape his life. And all of this is wrapped into a compelling fantasy story, which leaves you enriched and with a sense of inner well-being, when you close the book - FOOD FOR THE SOUL!!
