Praise for The Dreaming Tree:

"A beautifully told tale reminiscent of Dunsany." —Publishers Weekly

"A gem." —Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine

“The characters are rich and well-rounded, the world realistic and well-defined—so much so that to draw yourself back into the modern world may seem unreal after spending some time in Eald.” —Bristol Herald Courier
