Fletcher Pratt. The Well of the Unicorn. By George U. Fletcher. New York: William Sloane Associates, 1948.

Fletcher Pratt’s The Well of the Unicorn (1948) is a well written and unduly neglected novel of revolution in a late mediaeval fantasy setting. Pratt charts personal and sexual intrigue alongside guerrilla actions, political discussions, and reflects upon the consequences of using magic to achieve revolutionary aims.

Inscribed by Pratt to his friend John D. Clark on the front flyleaf, “To John Disgraceful Clark, George Urinaborg Fletcher.”

No. 27.
