What can I say? On one page I held my breath. On another, I lost it. One page left me in tears, the longing and the recognition were so poignant. When I went to look for that page again, I couldn't find it, like the gold under the rainbow. It will happen to you. At some point you'll discover the page that haunts your dreams, describes your world, or makes you smile.
Ari Berk's exquisitely informed text and Froud's always extraordinary pictures combine to open the world you know is there but have forgotten how to see. The runes, charms, and stories delineate the bargains, the sorrows, and the treasures of the journey.
Get this book. Get copies for your friends. If you've ever heard the voices under your bed and wanted to know their names, or wept at a sunset for no reason, or considered walking through the door at the back of the wardrobe, just in case--get this book. They're playing your song.

This book came to me by mistake - I'd ordered something else, and this arrived......... the first time in many years of ordering from Amazon that I received the wrong book. However, when I looked inside the book, I loved the wonderful illustrations & text. I decided not to send it back, but to reorder the original book I wanted instead!
What a happy mistake! I wouldn't part with this wonderful book, and have since bought other works of Brian Fround. They are like a window into a kind of forgotten world. If you need something beautiful to look at and love fantasy worlds, this is for you.

You have to buy this book.!
The art work, obviously, is just what you would expect from the Faery maestro!
The stories for each rune and the rune lore is simple but accurate.
A book for all ages and for ages to come...

The kind of stories that don't exist anymore
Let's face it, the majority of stories we tell each other these days is nothing but gossip. Gone are the days of fables and poems and limericks. Read more
