Description:
High adventure in three marvelously mystical worlds from the master of quest fantasy, Lloyd Alexander! Together for the first time in one hefty volume are three of Alexander's best-loved novels: The Arkadians, The Remarkable Journey of Prince Jen, and The Iron Ring. Packed with humor, details, wisdom, and even a moral or two (although Alexander is as far from sanctimonious as can be), each story follows a hero as he embarks on a quest--one through mythic Greece to escape a death sentence, another through medieval China in search of a utopian kingdom, and a third through ancient India to fulfill his duty to honor. A cast of Chaucerian characters accompanies each hero, from a bewitched poet-turned-talking-jackass to a highly principled thief to an eagle with an attitude and a scaredy-cat elephant...and always, the smart young woman who takes loving pity on our sometimes-bumbling hero. Truly epic, each novel is made up of myriad stories within stories, guaranteed to enthrall readers of all ages for hours at a time. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter
