The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany
5.0
Dear Lord Dunsany,
Why did I wait so long to read your book? You are a genius and I loved every second of it. Remember kids, don't play with Elfland, and when marrying faery princesses, be sure not to piss of their fathers.
This book was beautifully written, beautifully conceived, and beautifully strange. I love reading books which clearly inspired some of my favourites, as this one obviously did. Lovers of fantasy and Faerie should read this, and those planning on questing after Elfland should consult the sections on Alveric. it's never a good idea to mess with Faerie, and Lord Dunsany will tell you exactly why.
