Title: a wonderfully written bore
Review: I have no problem in admitting that I heartily envy Ms Kushner's writing skills: she is a wondrous writer, she handles her language with a subtlety unheard of and still she manages to avoid any overwriting or mannerism.The story itself, though, is far from great. Some reviewers say it is true to the legend: should it be really so, part of the problem might lie in the original plot and yet the author could have done something to amend that.Be it as it may, her characters are awfully dull -except for the elderly couple- and Elfland is lushiously boring, its queen being the worst of all.The verses included are enjoyable.
