Title: My favorite book of all time
Review: Buy this book NOW -- it has a nasty habit of going out of print! This is an all-time fantasy classic, rich in imagery, symbolism and good old-fashioned adventure. Its sweet, understated style builds through a compelling plot to a rewarding climax and a bombshell ending, all the while peppering the reader with neat turns of phrase (one of my favorites: "Sea-dogs are like other dogs, and bark at what we're not used to"). A magnificent take on the dichotomies between reality and fantasy, life and death, prose and poetry. My poor words cannot do it justice. As another reviewer said, this is a book to make an heirloom of. I am still kicking myself for not stealing the original 1927 hardcover edition from my college library, where it has sat forever with no one checking it out. It deserves a better home!
