by Sylvia Louise Engdahl
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Walker & Company has been proudly publishing lost classics of the Newbery Honor Roll since 1992—books of great literature and lasting value. This year we have discovered a rare gem indeed while mining through the history of children’s publishing. It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we present Enchantress from the Stars by Sylvia Louise Engdahl. First published in 1970 and winner of a Newbery Honor the following year, it is a story that truly stands the test of time. At once a tale of fantasy as well as science fiction, it is as innovative and captivating today as it was thirty years ago. Upon reading, it is clear that Ms. Engdahl’s book is arguably one of the most sophisticated novels to wear the Newbery Honor seal in terms of its deep philosophy. Yet it is also a fast-paced adventure story that marries the romantically moral traditions of dragons and magic with the fantastic and speculative conventions of science fiction. This is a truly great read.
