Author Description

Excerpt from Rainbow's End: A Novel It is larger than it seems at first sight; through it mean ders the river, coiling and uncoiling, hidden here and there by jungle growths, and seeking final outlet through a cleft in the wall not unlike a crack in the side of a painted bowl. The place seems to have been fashioned as a dwelling for dryads and hamadryads, for nixies and pixies, and all the fabled spirits of forest and stream. Fairy hands tinted its steep slopes and carpeted its level oor with the richest of green brocades. Nowhere is there a clash Of color; nowhere does a naked hillside or monstrous jut of rock obtrude to mar its placid beauty.
