description: Hints of Tolkien's style pervade this excellent fantasy. Another world, a world of darkness and evil, is impinging upon the quiet English countryside. Two recently-orphaned teenagers find themselves in the crux of the situation, aided by some of the strangest allies you'll ever meet. Includes a brief introduction by Andre Norton. Great Stuff!
