King of Elfland's Daughter

Its hard to overstate just how influential The King of Elflands Daughter has been to modern fantasy; particularly high fantasy and sword and sorcery. Lyrical and dream like, it takes us on a search for a fairy princess and the magic that mankind has always secretly craved. Masterfully written, poignant, and yet still full of exciting action and adventure!Its not simply the beauty of the language, the astute eye for character, the hint of humor, or even the spell of legendry and wonder, but Dunsanys unique combination of all of the above. Charles de LintA fantasy novel in a class with the Tolkien books. L. Sprague de CampIt could be the very best fairy story ever written. Gahan WilsonNo amount of mere description can convey more than a fraction of Lord Dunsanys pervasive charm. H. P. LovecraftOne of the greatest writers of this century. Arthur C. Clarke
