Joseph Delaney - The Last Apprentice 最后的学徒系列
之前颀颀妈妈介绍的帖子在这里
跟Harry Potter系列难度相当，young adult fantasy novels，少年魔幻小说。
因为链接大都已经失效，该系列又出了新书，所以归纳起来，重新介绍给大家。
Wardstone Chronicles (UK)/The Last Apprentice (US) by Joseph Delaney
‘He's the seventh son of a seventh son. His name is Thomas J. Ward and he's my gift to the County. When he's old enough we'll send you word. Train him well. He'll be the best apprentice you've ever had and he'll also be your last.’
The Wardstone Chronicles are a series of young adult fantasy novels, written by Joseph Delaney. The story revolves around Thomas J. Ward, a seventh son of a seventh son who can see creatures of the Dark others cannot even glimpse.
In order to learn how to deal with his gift, he is trained as a "Spook". The series is largely based on Joseph Delaney's local area - Lancashire, England. The "County" is Lancashire, "Priestown" is Preston, Lancaster is "Caster", Chipping is "Chipenden" and Blackpool "the black pool".
The Wardstone Chronicles mixes fantasy, supernatural, folklore and mythology to produce a series of exceptional scope and imagination. The folklore evident is also taken partly from the local area, including the "Pendle Witches" who were the most famous witches in english legal history. Hanged in the year 1612 at the Lancaster Gaol, the Pendle Witches were believed to have been responsible for the murder of seventeen people in and around the Forest of Pendle.
The novels have been released to great success in the USA, under the series name "The Last Apprentice". Filming of the first book to be called "Seventh Son" is due to be released in 2015.
The Wardstone Chronicles，又称为The Last Apprentice系列，是Joseph Delaney的作品，主人公Tom，是第七子的第七子，天生具有看到黑暗生物的能力，被送给Spook（驱魔人）当学徒。这个系列共有13本书，加3本外传。目前已有一部此书改编的电影《第七子》。
