From Library Journal
Remnants of humanity escape the great flood and make their way to safety in prehistoric Ireland. A singer and his companions survive the volcanic eruption that destroys the palace of Minos in Crete. A farmer's wife in 19th-century New Hampshire discovers the secrets of a sacred stone, and in the 21st century, George Burning Feather seeks the wisdom of the past to combat the ultimate natural disaster--the death of the air. The best-selling author of Lion of Ireland (1983. o.p.) turns her storytelling gift to a New Age eco-fantasy that reflects the need for reconciliation with the forces of nature. Though the connections among the four stories comprising this volume emerge only in the final story, each tale bears its own compelling message. Libraries should strongly consider this title for fantasy or general fiction collections.

Product Description
Morgan Llywelyn, internationally acclaimed author of such historical masterpieces as Lion of Ireland and the Irish Century series, is also a brilliant author of fantasy. In The Elementals she crafts a unique environmental fantasy from the legends of our ancestors and the fears of our children. It sweeps from the dawn of history to our own near future. It is the story of Earth and her elements, and of the men and women whose fate lies in her hands, from lost Atlantis and ancient Crete to 19th century New England and the day just after tomorrow. The Elementals is the epic, ongoing tale of humanity's turbulent relationship with the Earth-as only Morgan Llywelyn could tell it.
