Elidor, only very slightly abridged, is perfectly presented in Robert Powell's clear and intelligent reading. An exceptionally fine fantasy, blending two worlds - a very down to earth Manchester and the sinister twilight country of Elidor - into a seamless whole, Elidor has mystery and magic, dark and light and lots of drama. Robert Powell makes clear distinctions between the four children without resorting to theatricality and he builds up the spirit of Elidor, infusing the descriptions of its castles and characters with magic without ever becoming overly awesome.
