Coriander lives in London in the time of the English Civil War. Oliver Cromwell is Lord Protector and Charles II is in exile. Coriander's family are staunch Royalists. With the rise of the Puritans, there are troubled times ahead for Coriander and her family and their political troubles are only compounded by their family background. Coriander's father is a London merchant, but her mother is a fairy princess who can remain in our world only so long as her enchanted shadow is protected from the evil Queen. After her mother dies, only Coriander is left to protect her family and to save the prince of the fairy world.
If your child likes history, magic and fantasy, better books include [[The Owl Service]] by Alan Garner and [[A Wrinkle In Time]] by Madeline L'Engle.

|comment= Well, the book won a Nestle award, which is voted for by children, so I guess that just goes to show how much I know! I still think the fantasy section was dreadful though, sorry.

|comment= I,Coriander is a great book too good for words.
It is mysterious,thoughtful and creative.
5 out of 5. My favourite passage is "The world we live in is nothing more than a mirror that reflects another world below its silvery surface,a land where time is but a small and unimportant thing, stripped of all its power. I hope to find you there.
