Description |
Described as the 20th century Shakespeare, Maxwell Anderson writes in beautiful lyrical prose. In High Tor he turns to comedy with a story of a boy who owns a mountain and firmly resists, the efforts of gogetters to buy it from him. It Intermingles fact, fantasy, sentiment, and spirits in a fascinating compote. Its humor never detracts from its superb lyrical writing. |
