From "one of the greatest writers of this century," a fantasy masterpiece about the aftermath of a marriage between a mortal prince and an elfin princess. Arthur C. Clarke

Before the fellowships and wardrobes and dire wolves . . .

. . . there was the village of Erl and the Kingdom of Elfland.

Considered formative to the development of the fairy tale and high fantasy subgenres, The King of Elfland's Daughter follows Alveric, who leaves home on a quest with a few basic instructions: locate the Princess Lirazel in Elfland, convince her to return to Erl and marry him, and together produce the first magical Lord of Erl.

But what happens when a village gets exactly what it asked for?

How does an elf learn to live as a human?

Is love lost once, lost forever?

The people of Erl are about to find out.

Take a walk through the fields we know and see if you can spot the pale-blue peaks of the Elfland Mountains. Fans of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Neil Gaiman will adore Lord Dunsany's influential 1924 classic as much as those authors themselves did.

"No amount of mere description can convey more than a fraction of Lord Dunsany's pervasive charm." H. P. Lovecraft

"We find that he has but tranfigured with beauty the common sights of the world." William Butler Yeats

"No one can understand modern fantasy without understanding its roots, and Lord Dunsany's work is immediately significant as well as enjoyable even today." Katharine Kerr

"A fantasy novel in a class with the Tolkien books."L. Sprague de Camp
