He kidnaps Isobel with the intent of taking her to court for her crime (The Fair Folk seem capable of inventing new crimes on the spot) but they become targets of the Wild Hunt and become allies instead of captor and prisoner. When Rook’s portrait reveals an expression of human sorrow in his eyes, the other Fair Folk see him as weak. Isobel’s life becomes more complicated when Rook, the autumn prince, comes to sit for a portrait. For example: “Each of will lay six good eggs per week for the rest of their lives, and they must not die early for any reason.” The Fey delight in twisting wishes into things that cause suffering for the wisher, so caution is vital. Isobel, a painter, paints portraits of Fair Folk in exchange for very, very carefully worded enchantment. Baking, cooking, sewing, and writing are examples of Craft. Only humans can create a new thing (as opposed to an illusion, which the Fey can create) and this skill is known as Craft. The heroine, Isobel, lives in the town of Whimsy, where it is always summer and the Fair folk come into town to trade for Craft. In this book, a human painter uses the power of human creativity to save her Fey lover (who can shapeshift into a horse or a raven) and fight the Alder King. One of our readers pointed me towards An Enchantment of Ravens. Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult

(Oxford Companion to English Literature, Chambers Biographical Dictionary) The series is peppered with Christian allegory and ethics and rates among the most important writing for children in the 20th century. But perhaps his best known stories belong to a series of children's books known as the Chronicles of Narnia which begins with "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". This series is heavily influenced by Christian thinking and was inspired by his friendship and association with fellow writers J.R.R. He is better known for his adult science fiction trilogy: "Out of a Silent Planet", "Perelandra", and "That Hideous Strength". His strong religious background influenced such books as "The Problem of Pain" and "The Screwtape Letters". He was a fellow of Magdalen College, a prestigious College at Oxford University. Lewis (1898-1963) was a British literary scholar and novelist. |
