AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The evil Shadow Lord has taken over the kingdom … and only three people can save it. Lief, Jasmine and Barda have nothing in common—and everything to lose. They must embark on a perilous quest to recapture the seven lost gems of the magic Belt of Deltora. Only when the Belt is complete once more can the evil Shadow Lord be overthrown and the people of Deltora be free from tyranny'.

Notes

  • Rodda's decision to sell the film rights to a Japanese studio (rather than accepting one of the numerous other offers) apparently rested on the studio's promise not to alter the story.

Affiliation Notes

  • This work is affiliated with the AustLit subset Asian-Australian Children's Literature and Publishing because it is a Japanese anime production based on an Australian children's fantasy series.
