Read it yourself, read it to your childrenI first bought this as a used paperback around 1978 and loved it. It went out of print and when I found a copy several years ago, I bought it read it to my children. It's still as good today as it was then. It's on my all-time favorites list.

Product ReviewAn old favourite, and deservedly a classic. Anderson masterfully puts the medieval out among the stars and makes it work.
