During the week the boys work ceaselessly grinding grain, but on Friday nights the Master initiates them into the mysteries of the ancient Art of Arts. At the mill he finds eleven other boys, all of them, like him, the apprentices of its Master, a powerful sorcerer, as Krabat soon discovers. One night he has a strange dream in which he is summoned by a faraway voice to go to a mysterious mill-and when he wakes he is irresistibly drawn there. Krabat, a fourteen-year-old beggar boy dressed up as one of the Three Kings, is traveling from village to village singing carols. ![]() About the Book This translation first published: London: Abelard-Schuman, 1972 under the title The satanic mill.īook Synopsis New Year's has passed. ![]()
