A dazzling literary fantasy akin to the work of Nghi Vo and often compared to John Connollys The Book of Lost Things, step into a world that parallels our own, during a war that parallels World War II, and be prepared to fall in love with this gorgeous and lyrical Realm Award-winning novel.
A young boys serene summer day is shattered by the crash of a bullet-riddled enemy plane. Further disrupting the tranquility are the arrival of Grandmothers strange and unusual friend Mr. Girandole, and the discovery of a riddle in the sacred grove of ruins behind Grandmothers house. In a sumptuous idyllic setting and overshadowed by the threat of war, four unlikely allies learn the values of courage, sacrifice, and what it means to be a family.
In time for its 10th anniversary, a new edition of A Green and Ancient Light.
Praise for A Green and Ancient Light:
"The prose is frequently as beautiful as the images it evokes [...] This gentle, engaging, and very personal coming-of-age story is mythic in its universality." — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Fans of John Connollys The Book of Lost Things will enjoy this bittersweet fantasy with a mystery at its core." — Booklist
"The same magic flows in its veins as does in those of the classic The Last Unicorn ... I left a piece of my heart with A Green and Ancient Light." — B&N Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog
