The King Of Elfland's Daughter
by Lord Dunsany
Mini review by Hairy Larry
No spoilers.
This is a completely different view of Elfland which explains the time differential between Elfland and The Fields That We Know.
I love how he uses The Fields That We Know as the descriptive term to describe the human abode as opposed to Elfland, the abode of magical beings.
The text is beautifully written but this is not the narrative novel that we have learned to love to read. There's very little character development and the characters develop less as time goes on and magic takes it's toll.
Lurulu, the troll, is actually the most interesting character.
Who knew that Unicorns have fabulous blood?
The moral of the story is be careful what you wish for.
