The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany

4.0

The King of Elfland’s Daughter's manages to take you out of our current timeline to the “fields we know” and beyond. The story oscillates along the boundary of magic and men in an interesting way and is complete with the cast of magical creatures including witches, trolls, an elfin princess, and unicorns. The trolls are admittedly my favorite. I would recommend this to anyone who likes modern fantasy to see what has inspired writers throughout the years and to experience a different type of fantasy novel, where there is no great hero but instead a world in conflict with magic itself.
