  "No! No! Please don't leave!" cried Tasslehoff Burrfoot and, before we could
  stop him, the kender grabbed hold of our magical device that would have
  transported us out of Krynn and ran off with it down the road!
  
  So here we are, back again, ready for more adventures. If you are one of our
  long-time fellow travelers, we welcome you along. If you have never journeyed
  with us through the DRAGONLANCE worlds, we hope this anthology will serve as
  an interesting and exciting introduction.
  
  A favorite fantasy theme is magic and those who practice it. In these pages,
  you will find tales of the magic of Krynn. Some were written by us, some
  written by old friends, and some written by new friends we've met along the
  way.
