Epic quests and journeys overcome the feeblest odds. The characters that populate these stories are a motley assortment. Each one memorable. There is humour, adventure and high emotion.

Worthy follow-up, More amazing adventures basically, the same plotline

DEATH, a warped Assassin, and real honest-to-god boars The Cheerful Fairy ...seriously, weaker sub - plot, VERY seasonal (Christmas)

Pretty good storyline, characters, funny moments Weakest book in the Bromeliad Triology

very, very funny, excellent characters, strong plot you need to know a bit about the bard to get all of the jokes.

Great incorporation of facts Maybe a bit dated after 30 years

Excellent writing, fascinating story with great characters... a real page-turner. None
