- Summary:
- "Are those artists, Mom, or are they real people?" asks a child visiting Illyria, a luxurious retreat for successful and not-so-successful writers, painters, and musicians. On the first day of her stay, Janet Smith likens Illyria to heaven--and its guests to gods or angels. But before long, she is comparing them to children, madmen, and demons. "Dazzlingly comic. . . . a superb piece of ironic portraiture".--THE LONDON TIMES.
