Lud-In-The-Mist by
Hope Mirrlees My rating:
5 of 5 stars
So much has been written about this book by so many brilliant writers that my saying anything about it would be completely useless.
Read it, enjoy it (you will) and then reflect that it was 1925 when this was written and how many of what have become the tropes of fantasy are contained in this easy-to-read, thoroughly entertaining book.
Oh-- don't buy the crappy 2005 Quality Books version. It's terribly edited with a lot of obvious mistakes. Go for the 2007 Wildside Press version instead.
