Where it sits

Awards (verified)

  • William L. Crawford Award (IAFA Fantasy Award), 1987: won; Awarded to Judith Tarr for The Hound and the Falcon trilogy as a whole (the Crawford recognizes a debut fantasy writer/work); recorded against the trilogy's first volume since the award does not attach to a single specific title.
  • Locus Award (Best First Novel), 1986: nominated; The Isle of Glass placed 11th (finalist tier, not a win).

Notes

  • From the series record (The Hound and the Falcon): The complete trilogy (1985-1986, Bluejay Books), one continuous narrative arc.
