The Isle of Glass is the first novel in The Hound and the Falcon trilogy by Judith Tarr, published in 1985. Plot summary The Isle of Glass is a novel in which the elven hero, Alf, works against civil war and heads on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Reception Dave Langford reviewed The Isle of Glass for White Dwarf #80, and stated that "Tarr can actually write. Her spare prose and dialogue give a period flavour without the dread excesses of gadzookery. Moreover, she's clearly a member of the Black Lords Anonymous and the Society for the Abolition of Quest Clichés."
