| Absolutely delightful. A cozy Edwardian (I believe?) gothic adventure with a cast of winsome (and one truly odious, as befits his name) characters, a crumbling estate, a pet dragon, plenty of classic bookish references, dangers and mysteries aplenty ...more | |

| A beautiful new edition of one of my favorite fantasy novels of all time, with a cover by one of my favorite fantasy artists to go with it. Patricia A. McKillip's lyrical writing and rich imagination inspired me hugely as a teen writer, and it was a ...more | |

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

“If I am the pawn of the gods, it is because they know me so well, not because they make my mind up for me.”
― The Queen of Attolia

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
