Roc. MASS MARKET PAPERBACK. 0451151437 ISBN: 0451151437 Mass market paperback, 330 pgs. G+. Light wear, otherwise a solid unmarked copy. Signet 1988. Fantasy. If Only Her Books Were Back in Print!, January 26, 2000 Reviewer: Robin Boone (San Diego, CA USA) - The Greenbriar trilogy belongs to that category of fantasies that I think of warm-cup-of-cocoa-by-the-fireplace fantasy. This is not to say that the stories are sweet and frothy - far from it. At the beginning of the first book, the lovable wizard dies, but if you expect him to be (like Gandalf) restored to life to rescue everyone later on, you will be disappointed. Instead you will be treated to someting that is more honest about life in general. Tragedy, comedy, special effects, lovable characters, wonderful settings - it's all here. The world-building has an Irish flavor, and you will also be reminded of Tolkien or C. S. Lewis (another author you will be reminded of is Theresa Edgerton, by the way). Don't lose heart if you can't find the books through - the paperbacks are sometimes found at second-hand book stores, which always mystifies me (why would anyone have traded them in?). May ship from alternate location depending on your zip code and availability. . Good., Roc<
