by John Crowley
—James Hynes, Boston Review
“[A] supernal work of artifice and magic.”
—The Commercial Appeal (Memphis)
“A work of considerable originality. A luminous sense of wonder flickers throughout the book.”
—Wall Street Journal
“Richly allusive, beautifully written, and mysteriously affecting…. This is the story of an American family that has a special relationship with fairies…. [But the book] has more in common with Bellefleur or One Hundred Years of Solitude than it does with Peter Pan.”
—New York Newsday
“This book is indescribable: a splendid madness, or a delightful sanity, or both. Persons who enter this book are advised that they will leave it a different size than when they came in.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin
