Description:

"Fool on the Hill is a magical storytelling tour de force that since its original publication has become an underground classic. It is the story of S. T. George, a young writer-in-residence at Cornell University, who is looking for love and dragons to slay. Momentous forces and a cast of extraordinary characters gather around him--including dogs and cats who speak, Shakespearean sprites who dress in Armani, and two mysterious women. Soon George is caught up in an epic struggle of life and death, good and evil, magic and love. Fantastic as the epic quests of J. R. R. Tolkien and contemporary as the zany entertainment of Tom Robbins, Fool on the Hill is certain to be reread, laughed over, and remembered for a very long time."

7 out of 10

This was a sometimes strange, but always magical book about storytelling and how it feels to discover that you're part of someone else's story. My favorite characters included George, Aurora, Luther the dog, Blackjack the cat, and the sprites Puck and Zephyr.

Reserved for morsecode.

I'm putting together a bag of books to loan my mom (chargoyle), who is up visiting this weekend. I think she might like this one. It'll go back to Mt. TBR once she's done with it.

I started this book, but just couldn't get into it. I will return to my wonderful daughter, morsecode, who acts as my own personal librarian!
