That DWJ is a master storyteller goes without saying. The woman brought us Howl Jenkins, for goodness sake. Since it landed on the New Book shelf at the library, Enchanted Glass beckoned me to get off my butt at the reference desk and take it home. Unfortunately, this one fell a little short. Many plot details are under-explained, and the action doesn't pick up for a good chunk of the book until the introduction of the villain. Then the fun and suspense begins. Andrew and Aidan, the protagonists, and the horde of other character make the story, with all their quirks and strife (and vegetables). Anglophiles will enjoy the unadulterated idioms, terminology, and long walks through the English countryside. Otherwise, the humor fell short and the twist at the end gave me the heebs - if we can believe the words of a villain.
