In the Suicide Mountains Author:John Gardner, Joe Servello (Illustrator) Unable to find a place for themselves in society, a young woman, a dwarf, and a prince journey to the mountains intent on doing away with themselves.
This isn't really a children's book. It's a well written story about human nature. With the back drop of a fantastical land where anything and everything is possible. This book will always be on my bookshelf alongside Tolkien's works.
