After long and patient research I am still unable to give to the reader of these Chronicles the exact date of the times that they tell of. Were it merely a matter of history there could be no doubts about the period; but where magic is concerned, to however slight an extent, there must always be some element...

as my compulsive consumption of cabell continues (this has been in my purse a month now and this is my third re-read), i have been alerted to the fact that i am reading these books "out of order" though it hardly seems to matter. i will say that it seems the more you read cabell, the more intertextualities...

The Song of Rhiannon, a retelling of the Third Branch of the Mabinogion, isn't as powerful as The Children of Llyr, which is a relief, in a way. There's a time of healing for the characters, as well as what they suffer during the action of the story, and there's a happy end for them as well. It continues to follow...

This obscure adventure novel, though popular in its time, is quite entertaining, not exactly literature and that term has been greatly overused, a yardstick... if you like H. Rider Haggard who influenced this author, you'll have an enjoyable read. To me a book is good or bad anything else is superfluous...The...

So he had only...

The Ballad of the White Horse is one of the last great epic poems in the English language. On the one hand it describes King Alfred's battle against the Danes in 878. On the other hand it is a timeless allegory about the ongoing battle between Christianity and the forces of nihilistic heathenism. Filled...

A fleshed-out version of the events that happen in a few chapters of The Silmarillion. Since it covers an unrelentingly bad time in Middle-Earth (no happy ending) it may not be for everyone.
