This review is from: The Apple Stone (Hardcover)

As with the London reviewer, I too read Mr. Gray's books as a child, and have also never forgotten them. I am always tempted to steal them from the library so as to always be able to read them. The Apple Stone was just one of many wonderful books. I have hoped that with the success of the Harry Potter books, some publisher would realize that this is a PERFECT time to reprint Grimbold's Other World, The Apple Stone, and many other wonderful tales. I'm waiting!

4.0 out of 5 stars Still haunted, September 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Apple Stone (Hardcover)

I read The Apple Stone when I was a child & am sorry to learn it (and apparently all Nicholas Stuart Gray's other novels, which I also read) are out of print. I remember his books as sophisticated fantasies, playing with the conventions of fairytale with a sardonic sense of humour and an underlying darkness which has never ceased to haunt me (notably in this novel the transmogrification of an old feather boa into Quetzalcoatl, the winged serpent...)Somebody please reprint him!
