My Review

This is perhaps one of the most forgotten fantasy novels of the past century. Hope Mirrlees describes a world where fairies and magic is not spoken of. It is evil. It is bad. So, when a 'fairy fruit' plague starts spreading in the peaceful city of Lud, people turn to their rock, their hope, the Mayor, Nathaniel Chanticleer. What follows is a series of exiting adventures, twisted with conspiracies and deep, dark secrets.

Everyone who calls himself a fantasy novel reader, HAS to read this book. It will inspire you and spice your fantasies.

I love this book! I am a huge fantasy fiction fan and confess I was a latecomer to this - I read Neil Gaiman's recommendation of it and sought it out, and loved it of course! It now has a place in my "favourites" section of my fantasy books!

Sorry, not my cup of tea.

 

Rate it, if you dare...

The best line ever:

'No! No! No!' shrieked Ranulph still more shrilly, 'he shall not kill the moon... he shall not, I say. If he does, all the flowers will wither in Fairyland.'
