I really enjoyed this book. There were some hilarious insults. There was a great metaphor that I don't want to spoil about a particularly dull person and how their mind was similar to a struggling teapot. It had me laughing for days.
Nice! I finally got around to reading this last year and really loved it, it is surprisingly humorous and fun, with a great quirky fae stories. I can see why it is so often cited as an influence by modern authors.
I just read it earlier this year and found it very enjoyable. Just the idea of the story revolving around a fantastical "drug problem" was an interesting one.
For those interested, I started doing a reading guide for Lud in the Mist. Only got up to chapter 19, but there's a lot of little tidbits that I hope will enrich your reading experience.

Thanks! Their search is apparently terrible; I couldn't find it through their site.
This is a great book. Any fan of Neil Gaiman or Susanna Clarke will be able to see how it influenced them
By the Sun, Moon and Stars, and the Golden Apples of the West!
Thanks for the heads up!
Reasonable iirc? There's a non trivial plot involved which does get resolved.
And Project Gutenberg Canada! For example White's The Once and Future King is there but not on the American server.

Lovely book, thought it was in the public domain already but maybe that was just Australia?

Great book. Personally I found parts of it eerily creepy.
95 years past publication (1926), so... yeah, that tracks.

It's a great book. PM me for other pre-tolkien fantasy reccs if you're interested.
Thanks much. Just down loaded. It was easy to find.

please finish your reading guide! I was really enjoying going down the rabbit hole with you
I bought a copy 15 years ago and still haven't gotten around to reading it. Guess that was a waste of money.
I just read it! Delightful. Thank you.
Thanks! I've been intending to get around to this one for years.
This book is very readable despite its age! I read it last year and enjoyed it quite a bit.
Oh great news!
Wow! Good spot.
