About this book
Mr. Vane inherits an old house with a library full of secrets, and when he follows a shadowy raven through a mirror he stumbles into a region that runs by the logic of dream. There he meets sleepers waiting in a great chamber of death, children who refuse to grow, and Lilith, said to be Adam's first wife, a beautiful and merciless princess who feeds on life itself. MacDonald wrote this late in his career, and it reads as his strangest and most searching work, a meditation on death as a kind of sleep and on the long road every soul must walk toward waking. Dense, haunting, and unlike anything else from its age.
