The Harp and the Grey Rose


Charles deLint 1985 Firebird 272pp PB

“Once a year at midsummer, Tess’s brother Finnan came to stay with us for a day or three”

I finished this coming home from Sydney on the train last week – and the last chapter a day or two later. It is Mr deLint’s first completed work and apparently – according to the blurb on the back – quite a favourite with the public still.
Mmmm well – let me say – as I have said before that I really love the work of this author. The genre may be ‘fantasy’ in the bookshops, but they are usually so well written with characters and plots that stay with you long after bathtime is over. This is…. well – fantasy with a unicorn on top. Dwarves and treks through the snow, a balance between good and evil broken, harpers, beautiful girls that you can never have (‘cause you know, they are like immortal or fairy kind or something) etc etc. I am ashamed to say that I was bored – sigh.

But he got better – so read those.

By far, the best place to look for a cuckoo clock is in Germany. Although a European visit may be more than a hop, skip, and a jump away, if you are planning to visit the country in the near future, keep in mind a cuckoo clock is an excellent souvenir.
