Graymond's review of The Thief of Always: A Fable
The Thief of Always: A Fable by Clive Barker
The Thief of Always transcends the trappings of a child's fable and comes mighty close to literary perfection. The story is appropriately simple (good versus evil), but the temptations, wonders, dangers and dark miracles present in Mr. Hood's Holiday House are morally ambiguous and anything but simple.
Illustrated with truly inspired pen and ink drawings by Barker, this book screams to be read aloud and simply MUST be read by children of any age. There is a reason I've given copies of this book to countless friends throughout the years.
