The Great Tree of Avalon

I recently came across The Great Tree of Avalon by T.A. Barron—-not the book itself, which (as of this writing) is not yet out, but an excerpt on the web. The prologue is available at http://www.tabarron.com/tab1/books/avalon/avalonselection.html, so I decided to read it and see how it looks.

I quickly decided the only way to deal with the pain was to tear it to shreds, line by line. I'm not posting that here, because it's too long even for a cut tag. But it's all up on the web at http://www.suberic.net/~tahnan/avalon.html.

Feel free to comment.
