The High Place: A Comedy of Disenchantment
"The High Place: A Comedy of Disenchantment" by James Branch Cabell is a fantasy novel published in 1923. This satirical work reimagines what happens after "happily ever after," following the Sleeping Beauty tales into a marriage gone disastrously wrong. Part of Cabell's Biography of the Life of Manuel series, the novel combines gaudy romance with sharp social commentary, blending fairy tale material with disturbing observations about decadent culture. Critics praised its wit and elegance while noting its provocative themes.
