"Complex and gripping...Newcomers to Arcadia will be captivated by
the rich history, while those familiar with it will find that
Sophia's legend grants them a new perspective on the earlier
tales." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[The Lizard Princess]
encourages big-picture thinking...The combination of a
straightforward quest complicated by hindsight, with magic,
science, and meditations on the building of myths and the role of
stories, makes for a book not like much else out there...Gorgeously
written and complex." --New York Journal of Books "This fantasy
quest lends a hand toward making our contemporary world a little
better."--Foreword Reviews "The impressive The Lizard Princess
continues Tod Davies' imaginative History of Arcadia series with
her trademark brilliant storytelling."--Largehearted Boy "Look
inside this world and find wonder."--Kate Bernheimer, editor of
Fairy Tale Review "Blending the magic of fairy tales with the great
existential mysteries, Tod Davies leads us into a phantasmagorical
world that resurrects the complex lore of times past with vibrant
narrative energy."--Maria Tatar, editor of The Cambridge Companion
to Fairy Tales "Imaginative." --Jack Zipes, author of The
Irresistible Fairy Tale "Innovative form and spellbinding content
...Stories, as Tod Davies's History of Arcadia novels ultimately
suggest, serve as a civilization's backbone, and it is therefore in
stories too that we can discover the potential for fundamental
change and a better society."--Marvels & Tales Bittersweet.
Lush. Human. The Lizard Princess crosses mountains, oceans,
deserts, and the Moon Itself to meet her fate and the fate of
Arcadia on the Road of the Dead. Her reward is the Key that opens
the door to the Domain of Life where wisdom trumps knowledge, as it
should in all good tales about the world, whether Arcadia's, or our
own. Tod Davies is the author of Snotty Saves the Day and Lily the
Silent, the first two books in The History of Arcadia series, as
well as the cooking memoirs Jam Today: A Diary of Cooking With What
You've Got and Jam Today Too: The Revolution Will Not Be Catered.
Unsurprisingly, her attitude toward literature is the same as her
attitude toward cooking--it's all about working with what you have
to find new ways of looking and new ways of being.
