More About Prince Ombra
There are seasons vaster and subtler than the cycles of the year. After a time of harmony the world begins to darken. Roderick MacLeish, Prince Ombra //
I still have my original paperback of this book. (The white background is iridescent. Pretty cool, but then, I'm easily amused.)Read Prince Ombra before I'd ever even heard of Joseph Campbell and The Hero With a Thousand Faces - I don't know whether MacLeish knew Joseph Campbell at Sarah Laurence, or whether he just read Hero, but the... Good book... if you get an earlier edition of it. The 2002 one has a bunch of edits that end up making the story confusing; it even keeps references to things that were completely cut, so you're left wondering, "Wait, what big secret was revealed? I didn't read any secret being revealed just now." Thank goodness for Pica, I say. this book is magic - that's a quote from one of it's reviewers and it has always stuck with me. the author blends together ancient stories and mythologies into this incredible tale about a young boy who must face the embodiment of 'evil.' i read it when i was about 13 and have never forgotten it.
