Narration In Pursuance Of Books One for the Morning Glory

The Tale began when young Prince Amatus secretly sipped the forbidden Wine of the Gods, leaving him half the lad he'd once been--literally--for his left side suddenly vanished without a trace! But, as is often the case in Tales of this sort, the young Prince's misfortune was also a sort of blessing in disguise. For a year and a day later, four Mysterious Strangers appeared, and, as Amatus grew to manhood, they guided him on a perilous quest to discover his true identity--not to mention adventure, danger, tragedy, triumph, and true love. John Barnes has been heralded as "one of the most able and impressive of SF's rising stars" (Publishers Weekly) for his widely praised novels including Orbital Resonance and A Million Open Doors. Now, in One for the Morning Glory, John Barnes has crafted an artful and immensely entertaining fable that takes its place as a modern fantasy classic beside such enduring works as William Goldman's The Princess Bride and T.H. White's The Once and Future King.

Evaluation Based On Books One for the Morning Glory

A winsome fairy tale for grown-ups. Not since T.H. White's 'The Once and Future King' have I read a book that melded humor and pathos so splendidly.

I enjoyed the first part of this but it confused me the further on it got. Interestingly written, but I'm still baffled.

A winsome fairy tale for grown-ups. Not since T.H. White's 'The Once and Future King' have I read a book that melded humor and pathos so splendidly.

A fantasy novel set in a land where they know they are living in a fairy tale. Unlike those lands that are merely actual. . . . Where everything that is very old is bound to be true. Where every tale that is told is bound to have happened.Prince Amatus drinks the Wine of the Gods while only a little child, and "A child who tastes the Wine of the Gods too early is only half a person afterwards." The right half as it turns out. And King Boniface hands out prompt justice to the Prince's Personal

One for fantasy fans. Thanks to an innocent sip of the Wine of the Gods in his toddlerhood, Prince Amatus has grown up to be only half the young man he could have been the left side of his body vanished. Those responsible are executed, and their positions are advertised as vacant. When four mysterious strangers apply for the jobs, they prove not only qualified but destined to assist the prince in his quest toward a kingship of virtue and valor. A darker Princess Bride, you might consider this.

This may be the perfect modern fairy-tale book. It has wonderful characters both noble and villainous, a quest, a prophecy, and a Doom. If any of that appeals to you, stop reading this review and read the book!

"One for the Morning Glory" by John Barnes is an deeply enjoyable fantasy that holds a special place in my heart. After being given a copy to read in high school, I read it in one sitting cover to cover. Ever since then, I have worn out one copy reading it two to three times a year. It is my favorite book of all time and I wanted to re-read it in order to write a review explaining why everyone should read it.The plot is simple: in a mythical kingdom, Prince Amatus, the only heir to the Kingdom,
