Fire, Fire
by Allison Prince
When young Emma falls behind her parents on a country outing, she finds herself at a
Neolithic funeral pyre.
Emma, we can’t keep waiting for you all the time. We"re nearly at the top—see
you up there, all right? It’s not far.
“Fire, Fire” by Allison Prince, in A Haunting
Refrain (Methuen Children’s Books, May 1988).
