About the book:
First published in 1924, the poetic style and sweeping grandeur of The King of Elfland's Daughter has made it one of the most beloved fantasy novels of all time, a masterpiece that influenced some of the greatest contemporary fantasists. The heartbreaking story of a marriage between a mortal man and an elf princess is a masterful tapestry of the fairy tale following the "happily ever after."
