The Silver Stallion

The Silver A Comedy of Redemption is the second stand-alone novel in James Branch Cabell’s great fantasy epic about Poictesme. It begins with Manuel’s death and narrates what happened next to his kingdom, to his subjects and to his comrades in the Fellowship of the Silver Stallion. It is a subtle, cynical and elegant adult fantasy, overflowing with bizarre and whimsical conceits. At the same time it provides spellbinding entertainment and a wickedly accurate satire on the manifold guises of human folly. James Branch Cabell (1879 – 1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. His works were highly regarded and hugely popular in the 1920s, particularly in the USA, and although he is now largely forgotten by the general public, he remains a considerable influence on writers of fantasy and science fiction.
