The Silver Trumpet
0 - Default Title
Description
The fable is at once whimsical, dark and Grimmsian: a märchen and high romance featuring twin princesses, lofty castles, questing princes, a dwarven jester, and giant mechanical toads - all with a final twist in the tale.
Running throughout are Barfield's lifelong themes of the power of words and meanings, of truth and the imagination, of love, redemption and transformation. The silver trumpet of the story calls us to our higher selves, reminding us of that singular truth in the darkest of times.
A century after its first appearance, Barfield's charming - yet quietly subversive - allegory will continue to win generations of new readers.
