About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Ingledove is a marvelous book. I loved it and thought it was even better than Marly Youmans's first book about the magic land of Adantis, The Curse of the Raven Mocker, where the inhabitants and their magic are half Cherokee, half Border Celtic.  I loved the way the Hidden Land materializes around you, as you read, as naturally as breathing. And the magic seems to arise almost as naturally - though it can be as sudden and cruel as a snakebite - and all of it is always breathtakingly wonderful. Then, instead of leaving you simply gasping at her marvels, Marly Youmans has the courage and the good sense to point out that experiences of this order cause people to change. I really admired this book." -- Diana Wynne Jones

About the Author:

Marly Youmans is also the author of The Curse of the Raven Mocker, which is set in the same enchanted world as this book. She lives in Cooperstown, New York.
