Title: You haven't read fantasy until you've read "Bridge of Birds"
Review: This book shows that length is of no accord when it comes to fantasy. Its single volume of eloquence, humour, wit, drama and pure imagination puts the multi-volume monoliths of Eddings and Tolkien to shame. To date, this is still the best fantasy book that I have ever read. Hughart manages to enthral his readers with a magical and fascinating world of musical trinkets, mystical caverns and outrageuosly funny characters. He manages to blend Eastern and Western folklore in a way that is at once recognisable yet seamless. In reading it, one cannot help but sense that Hughart had a whale of a time writing it. Absolutely unfetterred imagination. I read this book six years ago and it's still fresh in my mind. "Jade plate, six eight, fire that burns hot, night that is not." It warms my heart that so many other readers share in the joy of reading this volume. Give yourself a trip of a life-time, READ IT
