About this book

Nathaniel Chanticleer, staid and respectable mayor of Lud-in-the-Mist, wants nothing more than to preserve the traditions of his city and the dignity of his quiet, rational life. But the denizens of Faerie, whose lands lie disquietingly close, have other ideas for Lud-in-the-Mist and its citizens. - Summary by Nicole J. LeBoeuf
