Description

BEST NOVEL OF THE YEAR, BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY • Discover the magical beginning of Piers Anthony’s enthralling Xanth series

Xanth was the enchanted land where magic ruled—where every citizen had a special spell only he could cast. It was a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks.

For Bink of North Village, however, Xanth was no fairy tale. He alone had no magic. And unless he got some—and got some fast!—he would be exiled. Forever. But the Good Magician Humfrey was convinced that Bink did indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insisted that Bink had magic. Magic as powerful as any possessed by the King or by Good Magician Humfrey—or even by the Evil Magician Trent.

Be that as it may, no one could fathom the nature of Bink’s very special magic. Bink was in despair. This was even worse than having no magic at all . . . and he would still be exiled!

Thus begins Piers Anthony’s enthralling Xanth series. . . .

    Painfully misogynistic. It appears to be an intentional screws against women. Or per chance an experiment to see how many demeaning concepts or child-man actions can be laid upon the pages of a book.
  • Starts a little slow with a build up that explodes!!!

    I started reading this series when I was 10, and now at 25 I have yet to find a series as vibrant. The stories are deeply compelling and the characters are intricate, yet the whole experience is refreshing. You won't be sorry with this buy.

    This story will take you on an amazing adventure. I've started my second path through Xanth and can't wait for the third.
