Well known and regarded in its own day, de la Mare’s fantastic tale of journey through a delicately exotic landscape has fallen into some obscurity. This is a shame, as there is an intrinsic pleasure of the author’s dreamlike prose, written with a poet’s sensibility, as well as in Dorothy Lathrop’s vivid and sensuous illustrations.

The work is also of interest as one of the principal influences on J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Middle Earth” books. We will be discussing the work as a Hero’s Journey of the type explored by Joseph Campbell et al.

All lovers of Quests, fans of tales involving the Innocent and Magical Third Son, Persons Partial to the Poetical, and readers of Fantastic and Fanciful Fiction are invited to join us, whether they have read the work or not.

Copies of the work may be had at the Whitehorn Library in Caledon VictoriaCity,
or found online at
