The shock and delight of discovery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I stumbled across this book quite by accident; Ms. Grabien is an extraordinary writer. Fantasy fiction, like most genres, is choked with re-writes of a handful of themes. Ms. Grabien has taken a few threads from different classic fantasy themes, added her own spinnings, and woven them all together in an entirely original way to create a book of great imagination, spirit, wonder and magic. This book has luminousity. I want to live in it. If you ever come across it - or I suspect any others written by her - please grab it before I do!Oh yes, the theme - the Big One has struck, and several ancient beings travel across the bucolic face of England, to be present at the birth of the new... And by the way, all the grown-ups are dead, while children and animals talk to each other. But it's not as precious as it sounds.
One of the best books of this millenium

Deborah Grabien is such a fantastic author! I read Plainsong about two years ago and loved it! I'm in the middle of it right now. Apparently the newspapers, etc. are comparing her books to those of C.S. Lewis and Madeline L'Engle, I've never read any of their books, but if they're anything like what Ms. Grabien has written, then expect me to be reading them soon. Of course this book has a few religious insights, which I loved, but others may not. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
