queensthief*gosh, I'm tired...*
Guiding question for the week:
Is there a book where the descriptions or the character portraits or the settings just blew you away? Or cover art?
Tell us about it. Give us quotes, if you want, as long as they're not spoilery, to give us a taste.
Or, chaos as usual.
As you will have it. Carry on.
*thank you, Checkers, for the poke, I am half-dead and will be till November*

Ophelia
Date: 10/13/07 12:01 pm (UTC)The retelling of Hamlet from Ophelia's perspective. I bought the book because of the beautiful cover, and while the book was a bit uneven in parts, it's the first time I really felt I could follow Shakespeare's Hamlet. granted, I never tried very hard to figure out Hamlet, but Ophelia made it easy.

Also the cover art on the original Tam Lin release by Pamela Dean. All rich colors and swirly lines surrounding the elven Queen : )
