Title: a marriage to Elfin
Product review: Let us say first...dear lovers of faerie fiction,... that this author and this novel inspired Tolkien. That alone should mark it as being something special. It will, however, never find as exulted a place in literature as the Lord of the Rings will in our opinion. In this case, the student surpasses the master (as it truly should be). Still, this is a tale worth reading, of a somewhat arranged marriage between two individuals, a prince of Erl (a kingdom of mankind) and the King of Elfland's Daughter, who are not entirely suited to each other. The prince seems less interested in the Princess than in hunting unicorns to extinction. A modern version would have a faerie marrying a guy who spends all his time watching football on television.This is not your swords and sorcery style fantasy, although the unicorn hunting can be quite graphic, this tale is far subtler on the whole than that. If you love tales of Faerie, then this is one that should be read.kyela,the silver elves
