Praise for A Shadow All of Light "If Bill Shakespeare and Jack Vance got together to write a fantasy novel about a young man training to be a stealer of shadows, A Shadow All of Light might well be the result. This is high-concept fantasy, magnificently executed, with many a deftly turned phrase to linger over and recall at leisure." -Matthew Hughes, author of the Luff Imbry series "Chappell has a deft touch for comedy and for capers, and his witty, elegant prose shows a poet's deep love for words." - Publishers Weekly "More than the sum of its parts." - Locus, "Sword and sorcery with Shakepearian panache." -- World Magazine "More than the sum of its parts." --Locus "The humor, inventiveness and suspense are top-notch, and the concept is as sly as Lewis Carroll's Cheshire." -- Asheville Citizen-Times "Chappell has a deft touch for comedy and for capers, and his witty, elegant prose shows a poet's deep love for words." -- Publishers Weekly, "Sword and sorcery with Shakepearian panache." -- World Magazine "If Bill Shakespeare and Jack Vance got together to write a fantasy novel about a young man training to be a stealer of shadows, A Shadow All of Light might well be the result.

A great one deals in shadows. A Shadow all of Light is a stylish, elegant, episodic fantasy novel by World Fantasy Award-winning author and former poet laureate Fred Chappell.

The tale follows the exploits of Falco, a young man from the country, who arrives in the port city of Tardocco with the ambition of becoming an apprentice to a master shadow thief. Maestro Astolfo, whose mysterious powers of observation would rival those of Sherlock Holmes, sees Falco's potential and puts him through a grueling series of physical lessons and intellectual tests.

A wry humor leavens this fantastical concoction, and the style is as rich and textured as one would hope for from Chappell, a distinguished poet as well as a World Fantasy Award-winning author.
