- Synopsis
- It&’s hard to overstate just how influential The King of Elfland&’s Daughter has been to modern fantasy; particularly high fantasy, sword and sorcery, and high fantasy. Lyrical and dream like it takes us on a search for a fairy princess and the magic that man has always secretly craved. Masterfully written, poignant, and yet still full of exciting action and adventure. It&’s 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 Dunsany&’s unique combination of all of the above.— Charles de Lint A fantasy novel in a class with the Tolkien books.—L. Sprague de Camp It could be the very best fairy story ever written.—Gahan Wilson No amount of mere description can convey more than a fraction of Lord Dunsany&’s pervasive charm.—H. P. Lovecraft One of the greatest writers of this century.—Arthur C. Clarke
