The Ambrose Stories
The Cup of the World
and its sequels
I've always loved fantasy. I think I'm not the only one. Here are a few things others have said about these books.
"The sorcery is in the writing, conjuring visions of fields and woods,
lakes, mountains, rural manors and massive strongholds,
the views glimpsed
through windows
in medieval paintings,
haunted by the monstrous creatures
of
Hieronymus
Bosch..."
Jan
Mark in The Guardian
"These are the strangest novels I've come across since William Morris's
fairytales; gripping yet dreamlike, frustrating yet
marvellously suggestive."
Amanda
Craig in The Times
