"In the fourth of Cooper's Arthurian fantasies, Will Stanton. must defy the evil powers of the Grey King...The fascination of the book lies in its double reality, the plain life of the Welsh sheepmen shadowed and given a sense of destiny by the parallel world of High Magic.., this is a fincly constructed contribution to the high fantasy genre SHIRLEY M. WILTON, School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)
"Freshly conceived, richly sustained, the multi-dimensional nar rative adroitly interweaves traditional motifs with everyday realities so that cosmic conflict is interpreted in human terms. spellbinding tour de force. M.M.B., Horn Book
