October 26, 2002: I picked up this book because a friend told me about it, and I will be forever thankful to that friend! This is a wonderful book, one of those you want to read again and again because it has so many different levels. You can read it as one of those charming fairy stories you used to read, or maybe your parents read to you, when you were a child .. and it surely has a lot of "charmingness" if that's what you're looking for. Or you can read it as a high fantasy adventure, because it's a real page-turner and filled with more imagination and wonder than the average ten other fantasy novels I have read. But really it's more than either of those, there's a lot in this book to make you think deeply, and that's why you'll want to read it again and again. I'd not heard of John Grant before my friend told me about this book, but I'm sure going to try and find some of the other fantasies he's written!
