Most fantasy readers are familiar with this novel. I've probably read it half a dozen times, and it never gets old. LeGuin's writing style, so simple on the surface, is elegant, literate, and unique.

Despite the appearance of a faun, I began to wonder whether there would be a sufficient fantasy element, however, as the book proceeds, it captivates with a resonance of Faery comparable to the works of George MacDonald and Lord Dunsany. This is a multifaceted book, a true gem.
A gorgeous fantasy in the spirit of Pan's Labyrinth “that will appeal to those who loved Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things” (Library Journal, starred review).
Set in a world similar to our own, during a war that parallels World War II, A Green and Ancient Light is the stunning story of a boy who is sent to stay with his grandmother for the summer in a serene fishing village. Their tranquility is shattered by the crash of a bullet-riddled enemy plane, the arrival of grandmother's friend Mr.…
