Review:
"The narrative is rich and true to the language of the period, but it is through his illustrations that Muller actually takes his readers to the Nightwood, shows them the magic of the elfin world and its effect on the mortal world, shows them Elaine's beauty, steadfastness and bravery, and shows them the power of the Elfin Queen. . . . if read aloud, or recommended to a confident reader, it will surely be enjoyed."
