Will you taste the fairy fruit? Lud-in-the-Mist is coming soon, click "notify me" to add your email to the waitlist.
In Lud-in-the-mist, capital of the country of Dorimare, fairy fruit is strictly forbidden; even to mention it is a serious breach of manners. But like the creeping roots of a mighty tree, Dorimare’s enchanted history is a subterranean power, ready to push aside whatever stands in its way. As sinister songs sound and contraband fruits infiltrate the city, Nathaniel Chanticleer, Mayor of Lud-in-the-Mist and High Seneschal of Dorimare, finds his easy life upended and his children ensnared by a force he cannot understand, though his heart registers its call. And the forbidden fruit lies at the heart of the mystery, bound up with love and betrayal. Once it is tasted, there can be no going back.
Lud-in-the-Mist has become a cult classic of fantasy since its publication in 1926 by British author Hope Mirrlees, who was affectionately characterized as “a cross between a pixy and a genius.” This special, U.S.-only edition by Broccoli re-enchants the novel’s heady mix of folklore, poetry, singular descriptions, and pointed social commentary with a new afterword and original illustrations by Bethany van Rijswijk.
