This eighth volume in Cabell's \"Biography of the Life of Manuel\" series presents a satirical twist on the traditional Sleeping Beauty tale, exploring the complications that arise when the promise of a \"happily ever after\" turns tumultuous. The Ballantine edition retains the enchanting original illustrations by Frank C. Pape, enhancing the whimsical narrative. Although an adaptation was envisioned for Broadway in 1936, it ultimately did not come to fruition, giving \"The High Place\" a unique standing as a literary work ripe for exploration and reflection.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst US printing.
