Hope Mirrlees 
Lud-in-the-Mist [EPUB ebook] 

Support

‘The single most beautiful, solid, unearthly, and unjustifiably forgotten novel of the twentieth century … a little golden miracle of a book.’ —Neal Gaiman

Hope Mirrlees penned Lud-in-the-Mist–a classic fantasy, and her only fantasy novel–in 1926. When the town of Lud severs its ties to a Faerie land, an illegal trade in fairy fruit develops. But eating the fruit has horrible and wondrous effects.

‘Helen Hope Mirrlees was born in England in 1887. Mirrlees was a close friend of such literary lights as Walter de la Mare, T.S. Eliot, André Gide, Katharine Mansfield, Lady Ottoline Morrell, Bertrand Russell, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and William Butler Yeats. Under her own name, she published three novels: Madeleine— One of Life’s Jansenists (1921); The Counterplot (1924); and her 1926 classic fantasy Lud-in-the-Mist, which has acknowledged inspiration to the likes of Neil Gaiman, Mary Gentle, Elizabeth Hand, Johanna Russ, and Tim Powers.’–SF Site

‘Hope Mirrlees’ writing, usually underrated, moves between gently crazy humour, poetic snatches, real menace, and real poignancy.’—The Encyclopedia of Fantasy
