Today Alison Flood’s tour of classic fantasy at The Guardian features one of my all time favorite books: The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers. I’m delighted to see that Alison was well impressed. What’s more, The Guardian has excellent itself in finding a suitable illustration for the article, which I shall now shamelessly link to.

Oh, and thanks for the name check, Alison. 🙂
