Lud-in-the-Mist

On the borderland of Faerie lies the staid, law-abiding country of Dorimare and its quiet capital city, Lud-in-the-Mist. For generations its respectable burghers have outlawed all things fairy—above all, the mysterious and intoxicating fairy fruit smuggled in across the Debatable Hills. But when the citizens begin to act strangely, and Mayor Nathaniel Chanticleer's own son falls under the spell of the forbidden fruit, Nathaniel must journey beyond the borders of his orderly world to confront the wild magic he has spent his life denying. First published in 1926, Hope Mirrlees's Lud-in-the-Mist is a luminous, lyrical classic of fantasy literature that has enchanted readers for nearly a century—including Neil Gaiman, who has called it one of the most beautiful, unearthly, and unjustifiably forgotten novels of the twentieth century. Now performed by Shiromi Arserio, this new audio production brings Mirrlees's strange and wondrous world vividly to life.
