by Mark Valentine (Introduction by), Lord Kilmarnock (Author)
Published by Nodens Books. "This much-needed first reprint offers connoisseurs of the dark fantastic a rare minor masterpiece, too long overlooked. Ferelith should now take its place as one of the strange great visions in the library of the Gothic." -From the "Introduction" by Mark Valentine "Good novels can drop into quick forgetfulness in our vast rat-like proliferation. Two which occur to me are Lord Kilmarnock's remarkable novel of good against evil, Ferelith, and Moonfleet, John Meade Falkner's story of adventure, two books which are small and do not shake the world, but yet deserve the celebrity of minor classics. Ferelith has been a delight to Andr Gide." -Geoffrey Grigson "This wonderful book made me forget some of my present worries. It is the story of a woman the father of whose child is a phantom-an admirable theme which is artistically treated. . . . It delights me." -Julian Green, on Ferelith
