PIMP
I normally shudder when new acquaintances tell me that they write. I'm not generally big on recommending books I haven't read. But I'm making an exception, because first of all I have heard SUPERLATIVELY good things about this author from some very trustworthy sources, and secondly because I just read the Amazon summary and it sounds spectacular. Also, because my darling naamah_darling has sweetened the deal to the tune of some of her very best art, and I have not yet managed to get my hands on ANY of her work.
So check it out: http://www.amazon.com/Habitation-Blessed-Catherynne-M-Valente/dp/1597801992/ref=tmm_pap_title_0
Come on... doesn't that sound yummy?
EDITED:
Okay, the author is my new hero. Here's her YouTube video explaining the actual historical origins of Prestor John and setting up her book. With action figures of awesomeness.
