Praise for The Fionovar Tapestry
“Kay has delivered such a magnificent...volume that I can’t praise
it enough. The Fionavar Tapestry is a work that will be read for
many years to come. It is a book that makes one proud to be working
in the same genre as its author.”—Charles de Lint
“I’m overwhelmed...The Summer Tree is one of those books that
change your perception of the world forever afterward.”—Marion
Zimmer Bradley
“A remarkable achievement…the essence of high fantasy.”—Locus
“Kay’s intricate Celtic background will please fantasy buffs...in
the manner of The Silmarillion, the posthumous Tolkien work that
Kay helped edit.”—Publishers Weekly
“Immense scale, literary richness and dazzling heroes.”—Toronto
Star
“Certainly this is one of the very best of the fantasies which have
appeared since Tolkien, and I trust it will be recognized as
such.”—Andre Norton
“This is the only fantasy work I know which does not suffer by
comparison to The Lord of the Rings.”—Interzone
“Can be compared only with Tolkien’s masterpiece. A passionate
battle between good and evil...it delights the
spirit.”—Star-Phoenix
“Satisfying...a highly literate, lovingly detailed work of
fantasy.”—Fantasy Review
“Kay's bestselling—and stunning—fantasy trilogy finds its power not
in its feats of imagination or world-building (though there are
dazzling heapings of both) but from its rootedness in the reality
of human emotions and relationships.”—The Globe and Mail
“A grand galloping narrative...reverberates with centuries of
mythic and incantory implications—with a little Prince Hal and
Falstaff on the side.”—Christian Science Monitor
“The Fionavar Tapestry, when all is said and done, is one of the
most beautifully written and moving fantasy trilogies ever written.
Those are very large words, but I truly believe this book is large
enough to fit into such a reputation.”—Green Man Review
