Jan Siegel has already lived through one lifetime -- during which she travelled the world and supported herself through a variety of professions, including those of actress, barmaid, garage hand, laboratory assistant, journalist and model. Her new life is devoted to her writing, but she also finds time to ride, ski and attend the opera.
For all those grown-ups who wished there was an adult version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe here it is. A wonderfully powerful fantasy which encompasses London, the Yorkshire moors and Atlantis with equal ease and grace. There are the architypical figures that you would expect in any great fantasy tale which aid in the wonderful 'coming of age' sub-plot. All-in-all this is an absolute feast for the imagination and indicates great things from Siegel. (Ages 14+) (Kirkus UK)
