This is hands down one of the weirdest things I have ever read. Like Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz in an ostensibly "classic" fantasy setting, full of puns and weird humor. Digging around the concept of Xanth to better understand what I was reading, I decided that the broader work of Piers Anthony is not for me.



However, this (never to be continued beyond volume 1) story is gorgeously illustrated without being stuffed with tiresome details and the style would be at home in any Sandman or D

However, this (never to be continued beyond volume 1) story is gorgeously illustrated without being stuffed with tiresome details and the style would be at home in any Sandman or Dreaming setting.



Furthermore, the story of the real Jenny Elf, then a paralyzed 12-year-old girl due to being hit by a drunk driver, as well as her interaction with the writer is very moving.



An interesting curio, if nothing else.
