A totally brilliant book. I first read it when I was 9 years old & was captivated. I still read it, over 40 years later. \\\"At my feet the wolf snarled and strained, as though by sheer brute force it might wrench open a doorway between locked worlds\\\". Poetry. Sheer poetry.

Zelazny is brilliant too. All of his \\\'Amber\\\' books.
