About This Item
New York: Walker and Company, [1971]. First edition. Light spotting to top page edges, a nearly fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket. (9272). Octavo, boards. "Sterling classical fantasy in a classical mode." - Barron (ed.): Fantasy Literature 4A-80. "Calling this a sword-and-sorcery novel would be technically accurate but would miss the distinctive character of the book, which is filled not only with high adventure and an epic quest but also with a fascinating setting, an early medieval world that, though it contains magic, is nonetheless close enough to our own for the reigning faith to be Christian in nature." - Barron, ed., Fantasy and Horror (1999) 7-88.
