4.0 out of 5 stars Williamson's "Lucifer": No angel of light, he., April 1, 2000

This review is from: Lucifer Before Sunrise (Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight) (Paperback)

As I have mentioned to several readers who have written to me about my "Ancient Sunlight" reviews, it appears that Adolf Hitler is the "Lucifer" referred to in Volume 14 of this almost encyclopedic work.

In a manner of speaking, this book is also devilishly long, perhaps the longest, largest, fattest of them all, advancing the story more and more until the flood that permeates the end of the final volume "The Gale of the World."

This is another great INTERIM part of the overall saga, but if the reader has managed to read all thirteen prior volumes, he or she may by now have grown weary of the extended passages describing the countryside and all of Philip's efforts to promote a re-birth of an agrarian economy in Devon.

However, please do not take this as a deterrent. The complete "Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight" merits more attention in the literary world, even though it not at all "politically correct" to advocate it.

However, having survived the entire saga about three years ago, I cannot blame readers who may preferring skimming some of the volumes rather than fully digesting them.

Please see my review under the title "A Fox Under My Cloak" for more details about the overall work.
