Don Rodriguez; chronicles of Shadow Valley Edward John Moreton Drax Plunke Dunsany 9781171850441 Books Reviews
This is the first novel by Lord Dunsany (aka Edward JMD Plunkett), a turn of the 19th/20th century author who was a pioneer in what was to become the genre of "Fantasy". His writing is some of the richest, most beautiful English I've ever read and his novels are a treasure for that reason alone. He also has an insight and storytelling skill that rates his writing as "literature" - much more so than all but the best fantasy authors (such as Ursula LeGuin).
That being said, this novel is notable for being a little more "fun" than his high fantasy that follows - it has a lot of humor and derring-do in it and is somewhat reminiscent of Dumas's "Three Musketeers" in that element. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard while reading such excellent prose! The plot revolves around the adventures of a young Spanish gentleman, who not being the eldest son will not inherit his father's property must seek his own fortune.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys Dumas, Stevenson, "The Princess Bride", or Zorro!
This didn't have the magic of his other books I've read, and I found it lacking.
A boring story about a bland, entitled young man.
I think there were more words spent describing bacon than all the female characters together.
A good read. I was drawn in.
Only bought it to have the collection complete.
Marvelous story of a charming, elegant nobleman and his clever servant who have very entertaining adventures together. Just as good as King of Elfland's Daughter, in a very different way. Read also, The Charwoman's ... Can't quite remember the title.
The Weird Tales generation of fantasy writers (R Howard, HP Lovecraft) plus CS Lewis and J Tolkien all told of how Dunsany laid the foundations for their work. You can’t go wrong with any of his novels or collections. Gentle, yearning, wistful, richly imagined...
