This is an excellent literary masterpiece. If you are a fan of the fantasy genre and love complex books, this is the perfect author for you. Mr. Stoddard takes you on a fantastic adventure. A little about the book without giving away too much: The High House is a house that is actually a time portal. There are various rooms that lead to different time frames in history. There is a master keyring that opens all the doors. There is a caretaker for the house who is in charge of the keyring and also keeping the clocks of time constantly wound. The caretaker has a young son who lives in the house with him. There is a villain called the Bobbit, who is trying to steal the keyring. The Bobbit tricks the little boy into getting the keyring and then the boy has to chase the Bobbit through the house and different eras of history to try and recover the keyring. The boy does a lot of growing up and learns some hard learned life lessons in his quest to get the keyring back. I felt that there was an underlying christian theme in this story. The book can be a little difficult to follow, so it is for the serious literary enthusiast. But if you are into a 'Matrix' of books, this is the book for you.
