"Plus de dix ans avant Le Hobbit de #Tolkien, #HopeMirrlees allie un style riche à une plume ironique pour faire de son roman une oeuvre étrange, un chef-d'oeuvre inclassable de l'imaginaire.
Cet ouvrage, préfacé par les éminents Douglas A. Anderson et Neil Gaiman, est superbement illustré par Hugo de Faucompret."
Hope Mirrlees, Lud-in-the-Mist (1926). This is an edited version of a section from my chapter on the 1920s as a decade of fantastic romance in The 1920s: A Decade of Modern British Fiction, published by Bloomsbury last week.
