A gorgeous fantasy in the spirit of 'Pan s Labyrinth' and John Connolly s 'The Book of Lost Things. ' Set in a world similar to our own, during a war that parallels World War II, 'A Green and Ancient Light' is the stunning story of a boy who is sent to stay with his grandmother for the summer in a serene fishing village. Their tranquility is shattered by the crash of a bullet-riddled enemy plane, the arrival of grandmother s friend Mr. Girandole a man who knows the true story of Cinderella s slipper and the discovery of a riddle in the sacred grove of ruins behind grandmother s house. In a sumptuous idyllic setting and overshadowed by the threat of war, four unlikely allies learn the values of courage and sacrifice. '
