Family members from Earth's forgotten sister world, Hortishland, undergo difficult metaphysical and spiritual challenges in their effort to journey from their world to ours, where they hope to save the planet from its own destruction. Original.
This is a story that young and old alike should experience. There is no fairytale with a setting and characters as vivid and imaginative as those in Hortishland. Ms. Lloyd has captured my heart with her beautiful and thought provoking imagination.
A Modern Classic

Everyone who loves beauty must read this book. There are no words to describe Margaret Lloyd's audacious vision -- of a magical world containing joy and tragedy -- other than the ones she herself has used, so here is a brief excerpt, in which a woman hears her unborn child speak to her: Darsa thought, I feel everything changing, with new thought and new action. Her heart fluttered, and a small voice within her said, "I am your son, trust me." The music was carrying her higher and higher, swirling and flowing. She opened her eyes and it took her a moment to recognize where she was, but the loving looks that she received held her in their spell and gave her great comfort and solace.This is a book which will be read forever. We've all heard of great works of art which went undiscovered for many years until they were finally recognized. Let's discover this one now.
