Bittersweet. Lush. Human. The Lizard Princess crosses mountains, oceans, deserts, and the Moon Itself to meet her fate and the fate of Arcadia on the Road of the Dead. Her reward is the Key that opens the door to the Domain of Life where wisdom trumps knowledge, as it should in all good tales about the world, whether Arcadia's, or our own.
Tod Davies is the author of Snotty Saves the Day and Lily the Silent, the first two books in The History of Arcadia series, as well as the cooking memoirs Jam Today: A Diary of Cooking With What You've Got and Jam Today Too: The Revolution Will Not Be Catered. Unsurprisingly, her attitude toward literature is the same as her attitude toward cooking—it's all about working with what you have to find new ways of looking and new ways of being.

Myers It seems clear to me that the modern/postmodern world is undergoing a major shift in values—or to put it in the language of myth, that we've undertaken a new journey. In her surrealist-tinged fantasy novel The Lizard Princess, Tod Davies brings both passion and a fundamental vision to this journey—not least because she understands so deeply just how crucial Story is to the enterprise. As the plot unfolds, the titular princess—very unlike the shallow princesses of so much lore—is seeking both to find herself and save her threatened kingdom. But in transrealist stories like this, plot is only part of "what happens," since symbol, dream, and story "people" this world in their own right. Although I've never met Davies, she's published some of my work in her Exterminating Angel Press Magazine; I'm reviewing the book, however, precisely because of her luminescent understanding of myth and other forms of "fantasy" narrative. I asked her if I could review it because I too believe that Story is one of the most human of behaviors, one of the great gifts we find before us in the world, one of the great powers that come naturally to our hands. The Lizard Princess embodies this belief in many ways, for example, in the way a particular cycle of stories has to be not only heard but more deeply understood for Princess Sophia to come to the fullness of her self as well as to her queenhood. I don't agree with every aspect of Davies' philosophy, but overall her values will resonate powerfully with anyone who, like me, believes that human culture is now in a watershed era and so is struggling to create new myths for a better world. And there are such riches in this book! I love, for example, the False Moon, built by a technology-mad society and set in space in mockery of the real moon, a false Utopia built on consumerist thrill and blind domination of nature. I love the Ruined Surface of the planet beneath it, where the poor must live but which the rich from the False Moon must periodically visit to restore their health. I love the star window, the one aperture on the False Moon that looks out on the actual universe. And I especially love Davies' wise and profound view of Death, her understanding of its vital natural role. Consider too the language of lines like these: "Was I not the Lizard Princess, whose warm blood mingled with cold?"--"…it seemed to me that many things that had been obscure would become clear to me now."--"It is far more dangerous to be an object of envy…than to be one of scorn."--"We swayed on that Bridge between the False and the Real…" And my favorite: "It was summer as we walked, as it always is on the Road of the Dead." You'll be swept up into the story of the Lizard Princess.
