Not everyone enjoys fantasy, but if it is your fancy this is one to attract attention. While, it may be aimed at a young adult audience, this is immaterial. The ingredients are recognisable - the education, development and coming-of-age of a young wizard to rescue the kingdom threatened with evil, but it is the quality of Mahy's prose that makes this fantasy stand out. I loved it.
