This is the 2nd of Angus's Fantasy novels following on "The Sheltering Pine" in 1934. Hutchinson had a perculiar way of promoting both books, seemingly to be quite disparaging of fantasy novels, while praising Angus's attempt at Fantasy. Quote from DJ; "It is customary in this modern age to deride fantasy, to ridicule the faerie element in life and to concentrate on what are known as "hard facts". When John Angus published The Sheltering Pine and courageously told his strange story of the deathless "Little Folk" of Celtic legend, few expected for it the success it finally achieved. Now, in his second novel, Mr. Angus, with the same brilliance of imagination, in the same quiet style so well suited to the mysticism of his subject, tells a story in which the past and present are inextricable involved, and of a warlock who cheated death five hundred years ago, played havoc down the centuries, and met his final defeat in out present century." The homecoming is even more steeped in Scottish history than its predecessor, taking place in fifteenth-century Scotland. Noted in Locke 1/21, Reginald 1/15 and Bleiler 1978 p.5.
