Books

Octavo, cloth. First edition. Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 4A-135. Pringle, Modern Fantasy: The Hundred Best Novels 27. A fine copy in nearly fine first printing dust jacket (priced $3.95 on the front flap) with some mild rubbing to corner tips, spine ends and jacket folds. Still a bright, attractive copy of a book which is elusive in such nice condition. (#127509).

Oscar Gordon fights through a magical world to rescue a princess, fulfilling his dream of adventure. Later he contemplates whether the life of adventure is truly what he desires, leading to his confrontation with his own concepts of duty, and happiness.
