The Dragon and the Gnarly King
In this latest book in his humorous dragon series (e.g., The Dragon on the Border, Tor 1992), Nebula and Hugo award winner Dickson returns to the tale of the English professor who must adjust to life as a medieval dragon in a parallel 14th century world. When the King of the Gnarlies kidnaps Jim and Angela Eckert's adopted son Robert, Jim again assumes his dragon form to save the child. Jim and Angela bring their 20th-century sensibilities and his fledgling magical abilities to a medieval world of talking wolves and trolls. Dickson adds a sly touch of humor to make this a highly enjoyable read. Highly recommended for all fantasy collections.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
