Book recommendation.

'The Wandering Unicorn,' by Manuel Mujica Lainez.

From demon-haunted France to the High Crusades, 'The Wandering Unicorn' will take you on a magical dangerous journey with the legendary Melusine, an enchanting half-woman, half fairy who alters her shape as startlingly as this book will alter your imagination.

"A dazzling cavalcade of men and horses, monsters and miracles, devils, angels, chivalry, incest, ecstasy, Knight templars, fabulous beasts.."


Out of print though, so be prepared to hunt high and low for it.

Book recommendation.

'Looking For Alibrandi' by Melina Marchetta.

'Josephine Alibrandi is seventeen, illegitimate, and in her final year at a wealthy Catholic school. This is the year her father comes back into her life, the year she falls in love, the year she discovers secrets of her family's past and the year she sets herself free.'

Multiaward winning and hugely popular, 'Looking for Alibrandi' has become a classic of modern young adult literature.

Just one for now...

I highly recommend Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I literally sat down and devoured the book in almost one sitting. It's the folklore. You mix folklore with good fiction and you've got me.
