Translated from the original German by Sally-Ann Spencer, this novel is a fabulous addition to the fantasy genre. Plucked from obscurity and anonymity, he is sent on a quest to find his fellow dwarves, delivering messages en route: naturally, adventure will follow him, and perhaps he is even the long lost heir to the dwarves' throne - time will tell! He finds that his peaceful life is about to change dramatically. The charismatic dwarf, Tungdil, abandoned at birth, and brought up in the land of long-uns (humans), was raised and apprenticed to a magus. Summary: A long book and the first of a quartet but this is fantasy writing at its best and a fabulous addition to the genre.
