Summary: The Greatest Fantasy Novel
Comment: This exhilerating adventure story is jammed with as much true fantasy creation as the modern writer's ten book series. The Ship of Ishtar is all but forgotten, but deserves to be even more popular than Tolkien's novels.

No one I've loaned my copy to have ever not loved it.
