The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon’s egg. The egg—as eggs are wont to do—decides to hatch, and Miss Mildred Percy is suddenly thrust out of the role of “spinster and general wallflower” and into the unprecedented position of “spinster and keeper of dragons.” But England has not seen a dragon since…well, ever.

Love, after all, wasn’t holding together her crumbling marriage. Everything about New Yorker Joy seemed ill-matched for an Oxford professor and the beloved writer of The Chronicles of Narnia, yet their minds bonded over their letters.

Manhattan, 1850. Born out of wedlock to a wealthy socialite and a nameless immigrant, Cora Lee can mingle with the rich just as easily as she can slip unnoticed into the slums and graveyards of the city. As the only female resurrectionist in New York, she’s carved out a niche procuring bodies afflicted with the strangest of anomalies. Anatomists will pay exorbitant sums for such specimens—dissecting and displaying them for the eager public. Cora’s specialty is not only profitable, it’s a means to keep a finger on the pulse of those searching for her. She’s the girl born with two hearts....

Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood–that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores.

Reseñas editoriales
Carlos Ruiz Zafon is an award-winning Spanish novelist, not particularly known for young adult fiction, and until recently, not widely read in English. That's about to change, thanks to a wonderfully faithful translation by his frequent translating partner, Lucia Graves. The Prince of Mist, Zafon’s timeless first book, originally published in 1993, has finally been given the attention it deserves. Complimenting this elegant work of mystery is the voice work of Jonathan Davis, who has over 150 audiobooks to his credit, and the production work of Michele McGonigle, who contributed a wonderful array of sound effects in addition to a seven-minute interview with the author at the end of the audiobook.
Everything about this story is on the checklist for young adult genre cliché, but between the author's graceful Spanish flair, the narrator's lively telling, and the producer's spot-on background sounds, the entire thing manages to delight where similar books have been doomed. You've got a brother and sister who are coming of age, forced to move to a sleepy seaside town by the war encroaching upon their city, and the charming local boy next door who befriends them. You've got the tragic death of a young boy who once lived in the house, the father who fixes clocks, the reclusive grandfather harboring a secret, the eerily vigilant stray cat, the creepy clown, the mythic traveling magician, and rumors of a deal made with the devil. Don't forget to throw in an overgrown garden where the statues seem to move, some terrifying old home movie projector interruptions, and an abandoned shipwreck inhabited by a fearsome sea monster.
Taken together, these conventional bits are a recipe for surprising success as Davis gives real spirit and charm to the teens menaced by this mystery. When The Prince of Mist finally makes his grand entrance, his grizzled taunts are some of Davis' best work. Through the book, there is a gentle undercurrent of sounds that give the story a wonderfully cinematic feel. From moving trains to stormy seas, and meowing cats to screaming girls, the effects really kick the adrenaline up a notch. In addition, the opening and closing music is written and performed by the author himself, a very fitting dirge of piano and violin that perfectly conveys the mood of his story. What should be a light and cheesy mystery for kids is, in the end, somehow actually quite a magical piece of audio that will satisfy grown-ups as well. Megan Volpert
Resumen del Editor
It's war time, and the Carver family decides to leave the capital where they live and move to a small coastal village where they've recently bought a home. But from the minute they cross the threshold, strange things begin to happen. In that mysterious house still lurks the spirit of Jacob, the previous owners' son, who died by drowning.
With the help of their new friend Roland, Max and Alicia Carver begin to explore the strange circumstances of that death and discover the existence of a mysterious being called the Prince of Mist - a diabolical character who has returned from the shadows to collect on a debt from the past. Soon the three friends find themselves caught up in an adventure of sunken ships and an enchanted stone garden - an adventure that will change their lives forever.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

In the post-apocalyptic, neo-medieval city of Ark, speech is constrained to 500 sanctioned words. If somewhere were to speak outside that approved lexicon, they'd face banishment. The only exceptions to this rule are the Wordsmith and his apprentice, Letta. Together, they are the keepers and archivists of all language. But when Letta's master dies, she is suddenly promoted to Wordsmith and finds the situation more complicated than she knew.

John Fowles’s The Magus was a literary landmark of the 1960s. Nicholas Urfe goes to a Greek island to teach at a private school and becomes enmeshed in curious happenings at the home of a mysterious Greek recluse, Maurice Conchis. Are these events, involving attractive young English sisters, just psychological games, or an elaborate joke, or more? Reality shifts as the story unfolds. The Magus reflected the issues of the 1960s perfectly, and it continues to create tension and concern today.

starts off great
but just when the story reaches its pinacle it just drops off at the end. disappointing after reading The Shadow of the Wind but you can see the elements that Zafon expirements with to build up his Cemetery of Forgotten Books series.

What did you love best about The Prince of Mist?
The presentation was great. The sounds of the storms and sea were a very nice touch. It made the story have an entirely new dimension. The narrator and sounds made the story feel real and sucked you in.

Really for teens but good!
I enjoyed this book though I was surprised as I got into it that it's really for teens. I will let my teen son listen. No bad language. No real violence. Reads like a teen novel as far as action and character development. I really enjoyed it though. Reminds me of Something Wicked this Way comes - sort of eerie carnival type story with ghosts etc. Fun listen and great narrator.

Prince of Mist Strains Credulity
Would you try another book from Carlos Ruiz Zafon and/or Jonathan Davis?
Yes, both the author and the narrator are excellent.
What could Carlos Ruiz Zafon have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Maybe it's just me, but I like a story that's believable. This one was just too "out there" for me, especially when the ship supposedly rose out of the ocean - come on!!! That was like the straw that broke the camel's back!
Have you listened to any of Jonathan Davis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I listened to "Shadow of the Wind" and loved his performance. As usual, Jonathan delivered a wonderful performance throughout. However, the over the top music was a little bit heavy and kind of weird at times, it took away from the performance to some degree.
Did The Prince of Mist inspire you to do anything?
Yes, it caused me to pay more attention to the reviews. Most of them relayed the same info I referenced earlier (i.e. don't bother listening to this one), but I went ahead and wasted my money on it anyway!
Any additional comments?
I think that other than this particular work, Carlos is an outstanding author and I will try some of his other books. Hopefully they won't be as fantastically over the top and incredulous as this one was.

A great author paired with fantastic translation
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Carlos Ruiz Zafon is one of my favorite authors. I have read and listened to his books, both are stellar formats since Carlos is a fantastic writer and the translations from Spanish are rich and fluid.

Zafon Will Be Missed
The first book that I read of Mr. Zafon’s was The Shadow of the Wind. I have read the entire “Cemetery of Forgotten Books” series and other of his books.
I am now reading his young adult books, which is the genre where he started. For me, they are every bit as good, starting with this, his first one, The Prince of Mist.
In the end, I will read all of his books, or I should say, listen to them. I would encourage you to do the same.
If, however, you are an adult, I would encourage you to begin with The Shadow of the Wind. You will not be disappointed. I suggested it to my sister recently, and, according to her, she was hooked immediately.
Mr. Zafon was not only a great writer, he was also a fine composer and pianist, who you will hear on some of the audio books such as The Prince of Mist.
Rest In peace, Carlos Ruiz Zafon. You left us much too early at 55. May God bless your loved ones you have left behind, and may you see them again.
