Synopsis

A reprint of this classic fantasy story, first published in 1965, illustrated with black and white line drawings by Charles Keeping. Four children in Manchester chance on a ruined church where the fabric of time and place is weak enough to allow them entry into the strange world of Elidor which is threatened by the powers of evil.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A mechanical street map, a deserted slum, a church in ruins, and a football. Four ordinary things lead the Watson children on an extraordinary adventure to a magical land called Elidor. In pursuit of four ancient treasures, the forces of evil have crossed over into our world, and it falls to the Watson children to find the treasures, seal the bridge between worlds, and guard the strayed unicorn Findhorn . . . even though their heroism may cost them everything.

Revue de presse

"A superb juxtaposition of the everyday and the magical, the ordinary and the fabulous."--The Horn Book

"Each detail, ordinary or sinister, establishes atmosphere, background, or character exactly. Elidor is a remarkable book: intelligent, rich, and terrifying."--Times Literary Supplement
