Review title: A warm, whimsical classic
Product review: John Bellairs is best known for his juvenile horror novels (best: The House With A Clock In Its Walls); he only wrote two (alas!) adult novels. This one, written in 1969, kicked off the whole humourous sword-and-sorcery genre. It's a counterpoint to the heroic fantasy form: in a world of bumbling monarchs, small farming towns and good beer two whimsical wizards find themselves pitted against an unusual evil power beyond their abilities to match. Luck, imagination and unexpected allies see them through this highly original adventure. A perfect bedtime book, though I wouldn't really recommend it for the under 12 crowd: the scare effects are too imaginative.
