Thomas Burnett Swann is a true craftsman with a well-earned international reputation for his mystic, classical fantasies. Theodore Sturgeon, writing for the New York Times Book Review, said of him: "He writes blissfully and beautifully separated from trend and fashion; he writes his own 7 golden thing his own way." The author considers LADY OF THE BEES, a lyric retelling of the legend of Romulus and Remus, to be the best book he has ever written.”
