Review
"Susan Cooper is one of the few contemporary writers who has the vivid imagination, the narrative
powers, and the moral vision that permit her to create the kind of sweeping conflict between good and
evil that lies at the heart of all great fantasy. Tolkien had it. So did C.S. Lewis. And Cooper
writes in the same tradition."
