Then you must, Must, MUst, MUSt, MUST order the Dorothy L. Sayers translation and read it immediately. You shall never have a better introduction to Dante or high Fantasy! On my oath as an Entmooter! Even the subCreator Tolkien himself went to meetings of the Dante Club (cf. Letters). What higher accolade could there be? (At least on the 'Moot?)
