Patricia A. McKillip

This post is about a favorite author of mine, Patricia A. McKillip.

A long time ago a writer put a fable down, The Forgotten Beasts of Eld (The Forgotten Beasts of Eld (1974) (Winner, World Fantasy Award, Best Novel 1975). She had written The Thome of the Erril of Sherril the year before (and you can still find it buried in some university stacks -- that is how I found it), but The Forgotten Beasts of Eld was a major fantasy work at a time when there was really nothing like it.

Since then she has written many enchanting novels that reach deep, human themes.

The Riddle-master's Game (Fantasy Masterworks S.) by Patricia A. McKillip (Paperback - Jul 12, 2001) -- the closest to classical fantasy that she has written;

and, one of my favorites:
The Changeling Sea (Firebird) by Patricia A. McKillip (Mass Market Paperback - April 14, 2003)
