Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal In the vein of works by Tolkien and Terry Brooks, Prince Ombra is a basic fantasy of good vs. evil. Its twist is that the champion of good is a crippled eight-year-old boy. LJ's reviewer found that the author "combines the measured phrase of legends with the chaos of modern life in fascinating juxtaposition" (LJ 11/15/82). Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
