Duncton Quest (133 page)
While above them all, rising it seemed to the very star itself, the Stone shone forth, and its light seemed to travel far across moledom. For that night of nights moles began to know themselves at last, turning one to another to say, “He has come at last; the Stone Mole has come.” Everywhere moles knew it to be so, and that knowledge touched their hearts with love, and hope, and joy. And moledom was filled with their song.
Epilogue
Far have we travelled with Tryfan, and soon further must we go to know the final truth of Boswell, of the Stone and of Duncton Wood. The tale must be told of the Stone Mole’s life, and the great Teachings he brought; with that, too, we must relate the story of the mole whom Boswell prophesied would come, whose knowledge of the Stone, whose wisdom, and whose courage, led her to be the first mole to know full Silence in life and so make all moles see that they might know it too. Such will be the story of Duncton Found.
Duncton Found, the third and final part of The Duncton Chronicles, will be published in 1989. Moles, and others, who would like to reserve a signed copy of the hardback should write to William Horwood, c/o Century Hutchinson Publishing Group Ltd, Brookmount House, 62-65 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4NW.
The ePub edition will be available September 2011.
