Book Description
An entrancing, sun-drenched bicycle journey, from the beaches of southern Spain to solar temples in the Outer Hebrides.
In this great feast of armchair travel, John Hanson Mitchell tells of his fifteen-hundred-mile ride on a trusty old Peugeot bicycle from the port of Cadiz to just below the Arctic Circle. He follows the European spring up through southern Spain, the wine and oyster country near Bordeaux, to Versailles (the palace of the "Sun King"), Wordsworth's Lake District, precipitous Scottish highlands, and finally to a Druid temple on the island of Lewis in the Hebrides, a place where Midsummer is celebrated in pagan majesty as the near-midnight sun dips and then quickly rises over the horizon. In true John Mitchell fashion this journey is interspersed with myth, natural history, and ritual, all revolving around the lure and lore of the sun, culturally and historically. The journey is as delicious as it is fascinating, with an appeal for all those who look south in February and are drawn to dunes, picnics under castle walls, spring flowers, terraced vineyards, Moorish outposts, magic and celebrations. In short, to everything under the sun.

Biking Towards the Sun Hits High Gear.......2005-01-28
John Hanson Mitchell, editor of "Sanctuary," the journal of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, begins riding a 40-year-old-plus Peugeot bicycle north on the first day of spring in southern Spain. The hopeful destination (a 1,500 mile trek) is to arrive in the Hebrides (Scotland) on the first day of summer.
"Following the Sun" offers more than bicycle-travel stories. A history of sun worshipers through the ages such as the Aztecs, Incas and several other sun cultures are discussed.
A delightful and eccentric bunch of characters along Mitchell's route lighten the didactic tone of the book. A speaker from the Flat Earth Society preaches in a confident manner to an ever-growing hostile crowd in Hyde Park. An overly protective bed and breakfast manager repeatedly dissuades Mitchell from riding to Scotland. She shouts, "You'll die of exposure in the empty wind like a poor lamb. No one in their right mind ventures out to the Hebrides . . . You'll be speared and eaten."
Mitchell's view from the bicycle seat is brought into one's imagination easily thanks to the author's keen eye for detail. We also experience his roadside pasture rest stops; he writes, "sliced my `tomates,' onions, and sardines, tore off a tranche of bread, and uncorked a bottle of Sancerre." One empathizes with the enjoyment of such a simple meal after having taken part of the arduous bike-ride with the writer rider.
"Following The Sun" proves to be a contagious read; an immense sense of passion flows through each page. Wanderlust will even ignite the soul of timid travelers to ramble through the book as if competing in the "Tour de France."

Makes me yearn for Spain and France.......2003-05-22
John Hanson Mitchell recounts his travels by bike from Southern Spain through France and England finally ending up in Scotland all the while musing on the sun and the indelible mark it has left on our culture. The book is part travelogue, part philosophical musing, part anthropological study, part religious mediation. The accounts of the people and places he encountered are compelling and his descriptions of the food he ate along the way made me very hungry! It all adds up to a thought-provoking and entertaining read.
A couple of quibbles: It would have been great if there was a map included with the book that showed the route traveled. Mitchell writes eloquently about the geography and it's hard to visualize it without having a map handy (unless of course you are very familiar with the regions he's writing about). I also found it somewhat disturbing that it wasn't clear when exactly this journey took place. The book came out last year or the year before,but it seems that the actual trip took place long ago.
The perfect summer read!.......2002-08-11
Whoever wrote that review that you say was in Publisher's Weekly obviously never read anything by John Hanson Mitchell! They must be confusing him with some other author. Mitchell's writing is always so good-hearted and generous--the opposite of caustic!
Following the Sun is so rich--a journey on two levels; a review of virtually everything under the sun, from myth to bird migration to the solar origins of Christianity. But it's also a delightful bicycle ride--all the way from the south of Spain to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland with journeys throughout the vineyards of Bordeaux, the chateaux of the Loire in France and the stone circles of the British Isles in between. Mitchell always has a way of falling in with eccebntric types, as I've seen in his other books eg. Ceremonial Time (a 15,000 year history of one square mile of land)and The Wildest Place on Earth (about Italian gardens and the American wilderness). He seems to be able to mix arcane facts about the setting of sugar in winegrapes, and the perversities of Roman emperors and the like with a sharp ear for story. There are some great ones here with some rollicking Old World characters. The author followed back roads all the way, and he did it before the establishment of the European Union when all the food was better, the wine sweeter, and the stories deeper. And Mitchell's writing style, lyrical and smooth, is a salve for whatever ails you. What a pleasure!

Southern Comfort.......2002-02-23
Imagine yourself at a particles accelerator at CERN.
First, assemble the ingredients. Mrs. Olive Mackie, her husband Duane and her teenage son Felix. Uncle L. D., age 91, who depends on various females of this story to keep him going. Dr Martin Bates, student of dentistry, so helpful and charming... Assorted women of the neighborhood, who all went to school together. And, of course, Miss Undine, the retired schoolteacher of them all.
Now, mix them all together and accelerate. Gossip and rumors start spinning, congealing into delicious back biting. Wait for it to stop spinning, to see whose life and reputation is still in one piece.
A delightful book, full of humor and sharply etched pictures of life in a small southern town.

A Fantastic, Frightful, Fanciful Ride Of A Horror Novel.......2007-01-03
"The Undine" has got to be one of horror literature's best-kept secrets. A vivid and captivating tale full of jarringly cool concepts and ideas and one of the better casts you're going to find in a novel; I'm mystified as to why this seems to be so unknown.
"The Undine" centers around faeries and similar creatures of folkore. However, these creatures aren't the innocent little darters-around-flowers or scampering mischief-makers that are probably more familiar to most readers. These creatures of legend can be very dangerous, and some are pretty vicious. A corporation has come into possession of four female faeries who've been changed into human form and plans to tap their magical abilities to generate power and profit. It might sound like a kind of corny idea, but it's pulled off here. The very nature of the idea is the corporation's best defence against discovery, and as the novel gets going it taps into this whole mythology of a dark fairie world, indepth enough to give the book credibility, and to make it almost as much of an entry in the fantasy field as in horror. In the very early going of the novel, the four fairies - vastly powerful magical beings of a royal lineage - escapt from their physical, mental and sexual enslavement and set out on a path of bloody reprisal against both their oppressors and the human race in general.
An unlikely trio of protagonists - a reporter, an actress who's fascinated by fairy lore and all things New Age, and a likably nerdy police photographer - become the main characters on the trail of the truth as to what happened at the site of a major disaster (related to the supernatural creatures, unbeknownst to the human characters at first) and wind up deeply immersed in a deadly situation. The book scores considerable points on how likable and interesting its players are, and it's got a wide range of them.
The writing is deceptively excellent - it doesn't bowl you over with style but instead it very unobtrusively and very deeply transports one right into the thick of the story. (If you're ever leafing through this book somewhere, don't be tricked by the brief 'excerpt' right inside the cover - it's a condensed version of a passage that's written better where it actually takes place in the novel) With the simple but skillful use of the right adjectives in the right place, brief but potent descriptions of sound and atmosphere, you almost forget you're reading words as the story springs to life cinematically, putting the reader right in the moment, whether it's battling one's way up a narrow mountain pass in the middle of a blizzard, the pre-dawn hours in a sparsely peopled diner where notes are being prepared, otherwordly battle on the streets of a city, or the cacophonous crashing of ocean waves at the foot of mystical cliffs. It also does a very good job at slipping one into the mindframes of various characters very quickly and fully.
Imaginative, horrifying, sometimes romantic and sexy, detailed, action-packed, occasionally humorous (and when it is it's not just amusing but one of those rare novels that reaches laugh out-loud hilarity), full of surpsises and turns, and always captivating, "The Undine" deserves a far larger audience than it seems to have found to date. Extremely recommended.
Mediocre at best.......2005-05-17
This is another book that I got because I really love faeries and other fantasy creatures. It was definitely not what I expected. The plot focused a lot on the humans rather than the Undines, and as a result, I really wasn't sure whose side I should be on. Part of me wanted to root for the Undines, as they were being ripped from their homes and rather unfairly persecuted, but mostly I was given the human's point of view, and I could see how they wouldn't want the Undines around. The Undines were really giving back as good as they got.
There was also an over-abundance of characters and conspiracies. It made it difficult to follow at times, and I never really got attached to any one character or group of characters. I felt as though I didn't really know any of them, which made it difficult to tell.
One thing that surprised me was the lack of eroticism. There was some, but not as much as I expected given the back, and a lot of it was very vague. Given that I wasn't really impressed with anything else, however, that might have been for the best.

Book Description
Undine gets along well with her unconventional mother, she adores her baby brother, and she has a devoted kindred spirit in her best friend and next-door neighbor, Trout. It's inconvenient that Trout has a sloppy crush on her, but Undine tries to overlook this. Undine is basically satisfied . . . until strange things begin happening to her.
It starts with an odd feeling, a shadow in the mirror, a whisper only Undine can hear: It's time to come home. And it builds. One hot day, when Undine imagines knitting together a few scattered clouds, she creates a massive thunderstorm.
Who is Undine? Where does her power come from? What is she meant to do? Undine needs answers to these questions, so she sets off in search of a father she'd always believed was dead and a self she's only beginning to discover. But Undine's magic is powerful, wild, and dangerous -- and her feelings as she uncovers the truth are even fiercer. Will Undine find herself or lose herself . . . and everyone she loves?

40% Relevent Story. 60% ...Not.......2007-05-21
Undine is a marvelous and compelling read--that is, if you are into reading long, draggy books with unnecessary details, loosely tied ideas and a much more loosely connected plot. It has an interesting concept idea however it is implemented very poorly. The story is about a teenage girl, Undine, who lives with her mother and two year old half-brother and is best friends with her next door neighbor, Trout, who has an immense crush on her that Undine is well aware of. Undine also hears voices telling her to "go home" constantly and has a father who's supposed to have died before she was born telepathically communicating with her. All the while, odd objects from her dreams somehow materialize in the real world, right at Undine's doorstep, quite literally. Undine starts off being, understandably, shocked and disturbed at the course her life is taking. The novel is supposed to go on and tell the story of Undine coming to terms with her `magic,' the fact she has a father, and her relationship with Trout, all the while dealing with the life-altering events of growing up. It is supposed to be a novel describing one girl's journey of self discovery and self acceptance.
Stress is placed on the words "supposed to be" because the reality is that this distinction is barely, if at all, made in the novel. The novel ends up becoming more of a sappy melodrama focusing on Undine's relationships with boys more than anything. Trout, Richard (Trout's older brother), and Grant (Richard's friend), Undine has apparently seduced or bewitched all three boys with her magic and her long legs. A great proportion of the novel is dedicated to the sixteen year old girl's silly love life, or lack thereof, rather than on building the plot. Of course it can be argued that `love' and hormones are a significant part of growing up and that Undine's self-discovery is directly related to her relationship with one of the three young men mentioned. However, the topic is overplayed in the novel and distracts from the main meaning of the novel. It transforms the novel itself into a shallow piece of writing. The same concept could have been explained to the reader much more effectively it was given slightly less attention. In addition, if the author's message was to shed light on the process of growing up through this, she failed miserably. Growing up has a lot more to it than just raging hormones.
It is highly unlikely that a person will be able to "grow up" or "find herself" in just one week, as Undine apparently does. The novel spans over the course of approximately seven days. The purpose of this time range is unclear. Perhaps the author intended to show the unpredictability of life through this somehow, or it might have just been a whim. The latter appears to be truer.
This short time period is juxtaposed with a voluminous amount of absolutely nothing in the book. One would presume that a short time span would mean that the book is either very fast paced or if it isn't, then a lot of plot is fed into each day mentioned. Ideally, this would be the case. However, in Undine, it isn't. The book has chapters' worth of no plot or storyline whatsoever, instead replaced with silly rantings of children and their hormones and Undine's deteriorated relationship with her mother. Admittedly these are important aspects of life, but they don't take the story forward enough to dedicate a massive amount of the book to them.
Another decision the author made about her novel that doesn't entirely make sense either is her choice to write it in a third person limited point of view, alternating between the perspectives of Undine and Trout. The story is about Undine and her journey for self discovery and she clearly is the protagonist. Trout is just a side character whose emotions and feelings don't really matter when taking the rest of the story into consideration. Parts of the story told in his point of view merely and unnecessarily show the raging hormones of male teenagers, demonstrating how such hormones transcend all boundaries posed by gender. This has nothing at all to do with the main storyline. Perhaps the author intended to contrast Trout and Undine's changes in characterizations--Trout's personality remains constant for the most part whereas Undine's changes greatly, shifting from nice, happy, and cheerful to annoying, scared and full of angst to finally content. Still, so much stress on him was unnecessary, especially with his online conversations with "MAX." The only result of telling the story through Trout's point of view is to force the readers to sympathize with him, especially when Undine chooses his own older brother over him to start a romantic relationship with, all the while fully knowing about his feelings for her. That's a lie. There's another result: a waste of time and space.
The structure of the book shows an amount of lack of creativity on the part of the writer. She divided it into two parts, labeled Part 1 and Part 2, respectively. Part 1 is about Undine realizing that she isn't even as normal as she believed she was and that she needs to find answers about herself and her heritage from her father who she does not know at all rather than confront her mother, who has raised her for her entire life, for the answers. The second part comprises of her going to get those answers and then actually finding them. Such clear and simple distinctions take away from the sense of reality that remained in the novel, regardless of its being about magic. Life is not so simple to be easily divided into two segments like that. All `segments' merge and blend into each other in real life. Such division of the book is thus also unnecessary.
The novel deals with too many thematic ideas. It struggles with the ethical debate of human dignity versus scientific curiosity, with mother-daughter relationships, the changing relationships of friends, self-discovery, father-daughter relationships, coming of age, the horrors of power and greed, and many more. It appears that the author is trying to tackle too many themes into one book and is thus unable to effectively develop even one of them. This also prevents her from tying up all the loose ends in the storyline. Many mysteries that captured the reader in the beginning remain unanswered. Why, for example, are Tuesdays always bad days? How did objects from Undine's dreams materialize? If Undine had this `magic' feeling from the beginning, why did she never talk to her mother about it before? And, I even dare ask, what happens to the relationship between Trout and Undine?
Too many loose ends, too draggy a story, and too much emphasis on unnecessary characterization transform Undine from a potentially interesting read to a boring book that one just wants to put an end to as fast as possible. It is a disappointment and not recommended if you are looking for a degree of depth of plot or a well-developed storyline in your reading.
A very good bood.......2007-02-28
I really liked this book, and although it wasn't alway clear what was going on, the author describes her characters very well and gives them depth and meaning
Unimpressive.......2006-10-10
To be honest, I wasn't very impressed by this book. It was kind of an interesting idea, but horribly cliche. Another girl who finds out she has magic powers. I'll admit that the ending wasn't that obvious but I never really fell in love with the characters. Undine is definately a Mary Sue. She has virtually no faults, she's beautiful, and all the guys want her. And I'm totally confused about who she's in love with. Is she just promiscuious, or can the author not decide who she falls for? And sometimes it feels like the author is just filling in space.
I did finish it easily in one night, so I suppose it wasn't a waste of TOO much time, but there are much better books out there.
BRILLIANT!!! .......2006-02-04
I'm not a big book reader, I just dont seem to find the time. But I just couldn't put Undine down! I was entrapped in the mystery and the magic. A book that I'm sure most people will enjoy. I highly recommend it.
I'm lucky enough to be in Australia where the second novel has been released. I promise you, once you read Undine you will want to read the second book!
Do yourself a favour... and buy it!
Book Description
"Most artistic of all the continental weird tales is the German classic Undine (1814), by Friedrich Heinrich Karl, Baron de la Motte Fouqué. In this story of a water-spirit who married a mortal and gained a human soul there is a delicate fineness of craftsmanship which makes it notable in any department of literature, and an easy naturalness which places it close to the genuine folk-myth." -- H.P. Lovecraft, "Supernatural Horror In Literature" (Jacketless library hardcover.)

T he Challenge of Mismatched Species.......2007-08-04
This is the original fairy tale Noir, which inspired all the rest: ballet, opera, Giroudoux' ONDINE and Osborne's HAUNTED WATERS. This novella examines the spiritual question of the Soul--that elusive qualify in which mankind trusts. Can it be other than God-given? Can it be acquired through marriage or noble deeds, bartered or even sold outright? Does the possession of a soul make one's life easier or more difficult, one's moral decisions clearer or more complex? For humankind, a soul can prove a mixed blessing. But what would it do for supernatural being?
This 175-year old fairy tale from the enchanted forests of Germany
is intensely poetic and romantic in style, yet it echoes medieval sagas of doomed emotional quests. The ageless theme warns of the danger
resulting from the unnatural union between mortal and immortal. Despite
the depth of their love such pairings of dissimilar species usually result in great pain and ultimate tragedy--placing the mortal's soul in real peril.
This short tale is further condensed by the skillful translator, yet it retains the flavor of the dark, mysterious original. Fouque's sylvan setting and watery undulations surprise readers at every turn: flood, stream, fountain, ocean, and lake all seek to reclaim the escaped water sprite who would defy the essence of her being to dare live as a woman. Does an evil demon stalk Undine and her cavalier? Is his supernatural presence trying to protect her or reclaim her from the solid world? To which world would she rather belong--or does the poor maiden even have a choice at all?
Like the little mermaid in the Hans Christian Andersen original
Undine endures great suffering in exchange for the gift of a human soul. The plot flows along swiftly and relentlesly to its disastrous conclusion;
for none in the lover's triangle triumphs in the end. The water sprites
merely mock the futility of bonding with humans, while our hearts bleed for the heroine as evanescent as a rainbow in the mist.
The Quintessential Fairy Tale.......2003-10-07
Undine indeed is the epitome of a fairy tale. It is the story of Undine, a water nymph, who receives a soul when she marries a mortal. It is a beautiful story exposing the darkness and beauty of human nature. It is one of my favourite books of all time, and I've read it many times over the years. It is one that I will always keep on my bookshelf and will share with my children and grandchildren for years to come. I highly recommend Undine for any person of any age.

Undine.......2003-12-03
This is a a disturbing and meaningful book about a young British girl growing up in South Africa in the the mid to late 1800's. The themes are complex and thoughtful: gender roles, theology and societal critiques. It's the perfect book for intelligent girls who don't quite fit in and the women who were them.
