saturnine13 Like the idea of a world of magic presenting itself as a theme park? See Dark Lord of Derkholm for a different take.

Dans le pays des fées, les habitants s'inquiètent, les hommes ne croient plus en eux et ne viennent plus les voir. Alors un troll de l'Administration a une idée géniale : ils vont faire venir de jeunes humains sous couvert d'un jeu de rôle informatique 3D très très réaliste.

As a whole, Witch and Wombat is almost worth recommending as a textbook example of how not to put together a story. Logically, a reviewer of Cushman's stature should be unusually sensitive to flaws in literary craft, but rather than avoiding such pitfalls, Cushman seems to have sought them out. The result is a puzzling book that ought to have been much better than it is.
