Lilith

A Romance

About this book

The classic fantasy about a young man who travels through a mystical reflecting glass into a hidden world 
Mr. Vane spots the mysterious old man while reading in his family's expansive library. His interest piqued, he follows the man up to the attic, where he finds a tall and dusty mirror. In its rather unremarkable glass, the reflection of the world behind him slowly melts away to reveal a sweeping country of moors and hills framed by the tops of faraway mountains. Enchanted by the sight, Vane steps through the mirror and is transported to a dreamlike land where myriad perils and adventures await.
With the old man, Mr. Raven, as his guide, Vane travels through the Evil Wood, where innocent children frolic in the day and dead men battle at night. He visits the ominous city Bulika, whose people live in silent fear of a menace roaming the streets. Each chapter building on the last,  Lilith follows Vane to a final and universal truth in a stunning allegory of life, death, and redemption.
