The High Place (subtitled A Comedy of Disenchantment) is a 1923 fantasy novel by James Branch Cabell, first published in hardcover by Robert M. McBride in an edition illustrated by Frank C. Pape. It is the eighth volume in the Storisende edition of Cabell's Biography of the Life of Manuel.[1] The High Place is a satirical sequel to the Sleeping Beauty tales, depicting a marriage where the "happily ever after" coda has gone far awry.

In 1936, dramatist Sidney Kingsley attempted to stage an adaptation of the novel, to be retitled "The Enchanted Princess", on Broadway. Frank Morgan was reported to be the likely star of the production.[2] The production was abandoned later that year, and Kingsley let his option on the novel expire.[3]

The High Place was revived in 1970 as a release in the Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series.[4] It was reissued later in the decade by both Del Rey Books and Dover Books.[5]
