An intricately woven fable filled with magical creatures...and
astonishing surprises.
In this wonderful fantasy, John Gardner weaves tales within tales to
bring a magical world to vivid life. When three travelers on their way
to the Suicide Mountains meet an enigmatic man, the Abbot of the Ancient
Monastery, they begin a series of wild adventures in which they must
confront mystical creatures...and come to terms with the roles fate has
determined for each of them.
Superbly imagined and brimming with philosophical insight, In the
Suicide Mountains is a tribute to Gardner's passion for medieval
storytelling, and an unforgettable novel in its own right.
