C S Lewis recommends
The Maiden's Bequest, the Minister's Restoration, the Laird's Inheritance (1998)
George MacDonald
"My master."
Childhood's End (1953)
Arthur C Clarke
"There has been nothing like it for years...an author who understands there may be things that have a higher claim on humanity than its own 'survival'."
The Worm Ouroboros (1922)
E R Eddison
"It is very rarely that a middle-aged man finds an author who gives him the sense of having opened a door on wonder. One had thought those days were past. Eddison's heroic romances disproved it. In a word, his books are works, first and foremost, of art."
