Sinopsis

Fairy fruit is being smuggled into Dorimare.Lud-in-the-Mist, the highly influential early fantasy novel youâÇÖve never heard of, but praised by numerous authors throughout the years. Originally published in 1926. In its main character, Master Nathaniel Chanticleer, Mirrlees prefigures Bilbo by a decade, in a setting not unlike Hobbiton. More recently the bookâÇÖs influence has been felt most strongly in works such as Neil GaimanâÇÖsáStardustáand Susanna ClarkeâÇÖsáJonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. It is the story of Lud-in-the-Mist in Dorimare, a small, sleepy and unimaginative town that borders the land of Fairy, but has cut itself off from completely for hundreds of years. Fairy fruit which sends men mad is now being smuggled in and given to children, old mysteries are dug up, and it is up to Master Nathaniel to get to the bottom of it all.Neil Gaiman describesáLud-in-the-Mistáas 'a little golden miracle of a book.' Jo Walton says it 'is beautifully written, charming, funny, and always just a little creepy', and Lin Carter paints it 'as sturdy as a painting by Breughel, as delicate as the breath of a hummingbirdâÇÖs wing.' Michael Swanwick says itâÇÖs 'diffuse influence runs like a scarlet thread through the body of serious fantasy today.'This new edition also includes Hope MirrleesâÇÖs other influential, very modernist, piece of writing:áParis, a Poem, originally published in 1920 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf through their own Hogarth Press.
