"The single most beautiful, solid, unearthly, and unjustifiably forgotten novel of the twentieth century ... a little golden miracle of a book." —Neal Gaiman Hope Mirrlees penned Lud-in-the-Mist--a classic fantasy, and her only fantasy novel--in 1926. When the town of Lud severs its ties to a Faerie land, an illegal trade in fairy fruit develops. But eating the fruit has horrible and wondrous effects. "Helen Hope Mirrlees was born in England in 1887. Mirrlees was a close friend of such literary lights as Walter de la Mare, T.S. Eliot, André Gide, Katharine Mansfield, Lady Ottoline Morrell, Bertrand Russell, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and William Butler Yeats. Under her own name, she published three novels: Madeleine— One of Life's Jansenists (1921); The Counterplot (1924); and her 1926 classic fantasy Lud-in-the-Mist, which has acknowledged inspiration to the likes of Neil Gaiman, Mary Gentle, Elizabeth Hand, Johanna Russ, and Tim Powers."--SF Site "Hope Mirrlees' writing, usually underrated, moves between gently crazy humour, poetic snatches, real menace, and real poignancy."—The Encyclopedia of Fantasy
Writing this book has been on my mind for many years. The book is based on my experience with a particular profile type I call bandits, who are destructive to, among other things, a healthy work environment.

Despite their destructive behavior towards others, they often manage to fly under the radar, where they create fear, particularly in the workplace, with their manipulative and toxic behavior. A bandit can be your boss, colleague, or employee who manipulates solely for personal gain, at the expense of others, and can thus break down other people through psychological violence. If fear has already infected your workplace, it often requires great courage and endurance to stand up against the bandit or bandits. Only through sharing knowledge can we quell the power of taboos. Often, when we have received the necessary knowledge and insight, we are no longer as fearful, and the bandit can no longer spread their poison. As Plato said: "Understanding spreads slowly, but it spreads nonetheless." As a curiosity, four top executives from Danish business tell their story of encountering a bandit and the ser
