This is really a book of 3 short stories about the wizard Wistril. He lives in a castle with gargoyles and a snarky apprentice. He just wants to be left alone to drink beer, eat good food and work on his research. Don't we all? But he seldom gets what he wants. These stories were wonderful, creative and very funny. Frank Tuttle is a relatively new author on the scene, but definitely one to watch out for. I greatly hope to see more of Wistril in the future!
