3.0 out of 5 stars AN APPLE A DAY, February 19, 2000
By A Customer
I read this book years ago, too, and actually there is an apple in the tale contrary to the previous reader's recollection . . . an ingenious device really, an heirloom handed down from the time of the Crusades turns out to contain a pip from the original apple in the Garden of Eden. The hero, a horticulturist, goes to all kinds of pains to cultivate it, and guess what happens next . . . .

The Violet Apple is not an easy read, neither is the other difficult novel in the volume, The Witch, which is even more cumbersome. But if you were moved by Lindsay's classic Voyage to Arcturus, consider this book a kind of pilgrimage--the journey is its own reward, and the sack cloth feels like silk at the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars another journey of sorts, December 31, 1999
It was years ago, but what I do recall is that the story had to do with a house, with a room in which one was transported to another world, as if into another dimention. There was no witch or witches or apples at all and had nothing to do with them. Not as ingrossing or adventerous as "A Voyage to Arcturus", but a good read. A better-read than "The sphynx" though.
