After a devastating fire destroys his family's farm, eleven-year-old Daniel is sent to live with his uncles in the Andalusian countryside. Daniel quickly adapts to the slower pace of life and the friendly people of the village, but he is puzzled by his uncles' strange way of life. Daniel's curiosity is piqued when he learns that his uncles are sheepherders and that they raise ewes and lambs. One day, Daniel watches as his uncles lead their sheep into the nearby mountains for their summer grazing. Daniel is fascinated by the view and decides to follow them. He is soon lost in the mountains and finds himself exploring a hidden valley. Daniel is thrilled to find a beautiful meadow full of flowers and wildflowers. He continues to explore the valley and soon learns that it is home to a secret hidden stream. Daniel's uncles never knew about the valley and Daniel decides to keep it a secret for them. Daniel; 8vo; 446 pages.
