Books like The vision of Stephen by Lolah Burford


In 674 AD in Northumbria, Stephen meets a young girl named Margery, who is exclaiming, 'There is a boy in the grate behind the pianoforte. A boy.' It is Stephen, still in his seventh-century garb. The whole family, particularly young Margery, takes him into their hearts, and he becomes an integral part of their lives. But he does keep disappearing for long intervals, followed by sudden reappearances. Time flows like a haunting fugue, and the two eras meet and blend and separate. The story is quite unlike any recent novel: possibly its nearest counterpart is T. H. White's The Once and Future King. If you would like to be transported, however briefly, from our own troublous times, this enchanting novel offers a dazzling voyage into another and magical world.
First publish date: 1972
