A CITY IN WINTER

Layer upon layer of mythic marvels lie along the road to the City on which the young princess travels to save her people. Bresnahan speaks to us in accents of wonder, combined with the curious poise of a royal 10-year-old obeying her destiny. Helprin fab-ricates a complicated world filled with fantasy's mix of the mundane and the fabulous. Our princess spins her tale of dark figures moving with swift magic to accomplish their evil. Bresnahan's silvery tones transport us and hold us as captive as the citizens of the Tyrant's stronghold. S.B.S. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 99]
