A gorgeous fantasy in the spirit of "Pan s Labyrinth" and John Connolly s "The Book of Lost Things."
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. Girandole a man who knows the true story of Cinderella s slipper and the discovery of a riddle in the sacred grove of ruins behind grandmother s house. In a sumptuous idyllic setting and overshadowed by the threat of war, four unlikely allies learn the values of courage and sacrifice."
