Narrated by Christopher Lee (who also portrays the part of King Of Elfland)… Read Full Bio ↴Narrated by Christopher Lee (who also portrays the part of King Of Elfland), this is the story of the ill-advised decision by the people of the land of Erl to demand that their Lord's son, Alveric [[artist]Frankie Miller], go to Elfland to steal and marry the King of Elfland's daughter, Lirazel [[artist]Mary Hopkin], in order to bear a magic son to rule Erl. Pausing only to get himself a sword forged from a thunderbolt [[artist]P.P.Arnold]. Alveric and Lirazel end up happily settled in the mortal world when the King sends a troll [[artist]Alexis Korner] with a rune, and Lirazel is forced to return to Elfland, which means Alveric has to go on another quest to find her.

Cheers a pleasant discovery fine tunes and Christopher Lee on narrator works well

Wonderful album. When this came out in 1977 it caught the imagination of many kids like myself who loved Tolkien and played Dungeons & Dragons. I’ve always wondered why it isn’t better known. The 1924 book by Lord Dunsany is also beautifully written and worth reading.
@lwskiner
I came across this reading an article in a 1977 edition of Audio magazine. Christopher Lee is very cool.
@TheDany149
Wonderful! i've been searching for the whole album for years now. Thank you very much!

oh I found this on the Minds platform Ottocelsior, he's an oarsman on the memedrakkar "The Flying Axblade" [suddenly...it's very clear 8^) ]
@originaluddite
The name of this novel has always confused me. Surely she is simply the Princess of Elfland. :)
