A review by virginiamoffatt
Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees

3.5

The first fantasy novel and it's definitely got something. The  rational world rejects the world of faerie in favour of pragmatism, but all the while there are those who continue to communicate across the borders. There are lots of nods to English folk lore, intriguing explorations of power, the restriction of the imagination and what happens when you break through your mental chains...But as with the first time I read it, left me a bit bemused.Worth a read.
