The lord of Erl is told by the parliament of his people that they
want to be ruled by a magic lord. Obeying the immemorial custom,
the lord sends his son Alveric to fetch the King of Elfland's
daughter, Lirazel, to be his bride. He makes his way to Elfland,
where time passes at a rate far slower than the real world, and
wins her. They return to Erl and have a son, but in the manner of
fairy brides of folklore, she fits uneasily with his people. She
returns to the waiting arms of her father in Elfland, and her
lovesick husband goes searching for her, abandoning the kingdom of
Erl and wandering in a now-hopeless quest. The poetic style and
sweeping grandeur of The King of Elfland's Daughter has made it one
of the most beloved fantasy novels of our time, a masterpiece that
influenced some of the greatest contemporary fantasists. The
heartbreaking story of a marriage between a mortal man and an elf
princess is a masterful tapestry of the fairy tale following the
"happily ever after."
