Praise for Prospero's Children: 'Prospero's Children is a piece of pure magic - a charming, eccentric, and powerfully imaginative work of fantasy which will enchant readers for years to come' Clive Barker 'A lyrical, captivating first novel of mermaids, magic, lost worlds, and found souls. I read it with deep appreciation for the author's storytelling skills, her memorable images and language, and her ability to make me feel so strongly about her characters. Once read, this book will not be forgotten' Terry Brooks
