Pre-dating the much better known works of Tolkein, it involves quests and battles on land and sea, heroic acts and deceits, love, lust and infidelity; all in settings so lavishly and extravagantly described as to stretch even the most vivid imagination. \r\nAlthough this work has been described as 'flawed' by many critics, because of a few minor glitches, if read with an open mind, and heart, it will transport the reader to realms of delight of a kind few authors are able to engender in these modern, almost monosyllabic times.\r\nTo try it is most adviseable, to ignore it is to miss out on a rare treat."}, "latest_revision": 9, "revision": 9, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-10T04:39:04.166110"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2025-08-18T23:51:03.239789"}}
