 Rated 8/10
a beautiful fantasy novel set in a graveyard with no living human character but much humour, furnished not least by a refreshingly sarky raven...

published by ballantine as an eccentric mainstream novel, there being no mass market publishing category of "fantasy" from the rise of the mmpb through easter-summer 1975°.

° - despite the existence of ballantine's excellent "unicorn head" adult fantasy series 1969-73; these were distributed - and shelved - as "science fiction" category mmpbs - and most did not sell particularly well...

 ballantine books third printing, shares

cover art by gervasio gallardo
256pp. including titles, indica etc.

with ballantine books 2/1969 first, 4/1969 second, 3/1974 fourth, 9/1975 special book club editions/ printings, though cat#s vary & cover price rises from 95¢ to $1.25 (plus the unpriced book club edition)

1/1976 ballantine books fifth printing switches to darrell sweet's cover art,
which is retained when they name their sf & fantasy list del rey after editor judy-lynn del rey, and add an escutcheon bearing a wyvern to the - still ballantine books' - covers.
