But, as is often the case in Tales of this sort, the young Princes misfortune was also a sort of blessing in disguise. John Barnes has been heralded as "one of the most able and impressive of SFs rising stars" (Publishers Weekly) for his widely praised novels including Orbital Resonance and A Million Open Doors.

Reviews"This innovative, often humorous, always unpredictable, and frequently self-referential fantasy breathes welcome new life into an old story." -- Science Fiction Chronicle "Amusing and fun, of course, and unexpectedly moving, too. I found the world mattered very much to me, and then I found myself wondering just exactly what John Barnes is up to. He's up to a lot." --Maureen F. McHugh, award-winning author of China Mountain Zhang "Barnes is a major SF writer of the 1990s." -- The Washington Post, "This innovative, often humorous, always unpredictable, and frequently self-referential fantasy breathes welcome new life into an old story." --Science Fiction Chronicle "Amusing and fun, of course, and unexpectedly moving, too.

SynopsisThe Tale began when young Prince Amatus secretly sipped the forbidden Wine of the Gods, leaving him half the lad he'd once been--literally--for his left side suddenly vanished without a trace! But, as is often the case in Tales of this sort, the young Prince's misfortune was also a sort of blessing in disguise. For a year and a day later, four Mysterious Strangers appeared, and, as Amatus grew to manhood, they guided him on a perilous quest to discover his true identity--not to mention adventure, danger, tragedy, triumph, and true love. John Barnes has been heralded as "one of the most able and impressive of SF's rising stars" ( Publishers Weekly) for his widely praised novels including Orbital Resonance and A Million Open Doors. Now, in One for the Morning Glory, John Barnes has crafted an artful and immensely entertaining fable that takes its place as a modern fantasy classic beside such enduring works as William Goldman's The Princess Bride and T.H. White's The Once and Future King.
