Hardcover. Condition: very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. Erik Blegvad (illustrator). First Edition. Fourth book in a series, the Hall family chronicles. The book really stands on its own, and there is nothing missing from any part of the story that would indicate other installments have gone before. It is a sophisticated book, good for readers who are already very familiar with fairy tales and fantasy, and who don't necessarily mind a challenging, unsettling story. Interestingly, it compares well with A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L'Engle, which was the other Newbery Honor book in 1981.
