Review

‘A haunting and successful demonstration of the qualities of faerie’
New York Times

‘The book must be read... it goes far to explain the nature of his art and justify his success’
The Cambridge Review

‘While springing from deep-rooted convictions, his art has imaginative magic of a very rare quality’
