Reviews for The Princess Treasury
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a masterpiece of fantasy literature. If you like fairy tales, it's quintessential. It's written in archaic style, with very long sentences and paragraphs, exotic words and florid, meticulously detailed descriptions of places, emotions and states of mind. It'll bring you into Faery Land and leave you there to find your way out. The rules don't apply, anything can happen and things are never what they seem; as with any good fairy tale, when I got into it, things around me started to look weird. It's a beautiful piece of art and it left a mark.
