Knowledge of Angels is a medieval philosophical novel by Jill Paton Walsh which was shortlisted for the 1994 Booker Prize. The book received mixed to positive reviews. Kirkus Reviews called it "an exquisitely mounted, immaculately designed fable." The Independent wrote "Contrived, often describing an idealised world but with luminous moments quite outside the normal run of contemporary fiction, this is a serious children's book for adult readers, and none the worse for that."
