Publisher's summary

He contrasted the mortal world, in wonder, with the deep calm of his home, where the moment moved more slowly than the shadows of the houses here and did not pass until all the content with which a moment is stored had been drawn from it by every creature in Elfland.

The poetic style and sweeping grandeur of The King of Elfland's Daughter has made it one of the most beloved fantasy novels of our time, a masterpiece that influenced some of the greatest contemporary fantasists. The heartbreaking story of a marriage between a mortal man and an elf princess is a masterful tapestry of the fairy tale following the 'happily ever after'.

Wonderful!

Wonderful! What more can I say? Dunsany was a truly great author and, as long as he kept to prose, a great poet.
