5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic high fantasy, January 27, 2002

"rcrh" (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This is a great book, an undiscovered gem, waiting to be read. I found a copy in a local used book store and was instantly hooked. I can't believe I never heard of this book. Terrific writing. The author apparently based his fiction on myths and legends surrounding Pengersick Castle, which still exists in Cornwall, England. Like Lloyd Alexander, Carlyon takes an old story and creates his own enchanting tale that is a sure-fire pleaser, full of action, adventure, magic, and memorable characters. Another fantasy classic that puts such popular stuff like Harry Potter to shame. Only wish the author had written more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lost favorite found!, July 30, 2002
By 
You know those books you read and loved when you were a child, pined after and searched for as an adult, but you could never quite remember the name of the author or the spelling of the title? You know the feeling of disappointment you get when you finally do find them, and discover that they don't stand up to adult scrutiny?

Finding this book was like that, except for the disappointment. It was every bit as magical as I remembered.

The Dark Lord of Pengersick is a rousing and fascinating tale that escorts the reader on a tour of the Brittish Isles before they were Brittish. It kindled in me a lifelong passion for the rich and underexplored world of pre-Roman european history, and also sent me on a thirteen-year quest to locate a misremembered title (I had remembered it as "Pengarsick").

If you know any young minds (be they in young or not-so-young bodies) looking for a new world of myth and magic to explore, this is the perfect jumping-off-point into one of the world's richest wells of story.

Read it!
