The Secret Country

Praise for The Secret Country

“Like The Secret Country, Pamela Dean is a secret treasure of the fantasy field. Her books are fun, smart, enchanting, exciting, and well grounded in the classic family tradition. The new publication of her trilogy is certain to let more readers in on the secret that Dean is one of the very best writers of magical fiction today.”–Terri Windling

“Pamela Dean is a hidden treasure, a writer other writers adore: her quirky, literate characters, her munchy prose, her depth-charge stories. More readers should know about her. And now–maybe they will!”– Jane Yolen

“It captures, as almost no other book on games-coming-true has captured, the real magic of making stuff up, of running scenes and characters that stretch your idea of who and what you might grow up to be. I loved it so much when I first read it, and had so much trouble finding subsequent volumes. I’m glad a new generation has a whack at it.”–Delia Sherman, author of The Porcelain Dove
