Marilyn Peake

Anyone who enters the portal of this amazing trilogy must be prepared to confront mystery, adventure, magic, illusion, and possibility. Yet, what one might not anticipate from this comment is that although the books are shrouded in fantasy, they contain embedded within them truths that young readers can apply to their own lives, continuing on throughout adulthood...

Return of the Golden Age is filled with magical beings & places (& any resemblance to the fabled green Isle of Erin is just a figment of your imaginings), including golden rings & a mysterious cave.

Once again, Marilyn Peake has penned a winner. Dive in & meet the boys & all manner of magical things.

Return of the Golden Age received the highest possible rating on the RebeccasReads web site, four teapots. Rebecca Brown defines a four-teapot rating as follows:
"This one's a keeper! A rich, topnotch read. Feeds the mind, warms the heart, tickles the soul. Sets all my bells ringing! The kind of book I want to tell the world about. It is likely to become an Old Friend."

... the story is full of fantastical adventures in caves with magic rings and powers sure to delight any child or adult interested in good time travel and fantasy books.

From Author K.L. Nappier

As with “The Fisherman’s Son” and “The City of the Golden Sun,” this novel favors ages eight to twelve in its simple, concise reading style. But, again, there are just enough new words to expand young minds. Ms. Peake deserves a Five Star rating for creating a trilogy easy to read, that encourages healthy fantasy and a desire in young readers to learn.

I truly enjoyed Marilyn Peake’s Return of the Golden Age. This final book of The Fisherman’s Son trilogy is more than engaging. Its realism and surrealism elements are genuine and breathtaking. Under the sea has been transformed into a magical place, thanks to the author’s impressive story-telling skills ... At last, I’ve become a great fan of author Marilyn Peake and her books. Perhaps someday there will be “The Fisherman’s Son” trilogy movie, just like “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.

RETURN OF THE GOLDEN AGE sums up the previous two books perfectly. The writing is paced well, and the characters are appealing.
