A mage's power has brought five university students from our world into a realm where an ancient evil has freed itself from captivity to wreak revenge on its enemies. Praise for The Fionavar Tapestry: One of the very best fantasies to have appeared since Tolkien. (Andre Norton) Kay's intricate Celtic background will please fantasy buffs. (Publishers Weekly) Immense scale, literary richness and dazzling heroes. (Toronto Star) This is the only fantasy work I know which does not suffer by comparison to The Lord of the Rings. (Interzone) A grand galloping narrative...reverberates with centuries of mythic and incantory implications. (Christian Science Monitor) The essence of high fantasy...a remarkable achievement. (Locus) The Fionavar Tapestry is a work that will be read for many years to come. (Charles de Lint)
