Alexander, Lloyd The Castle of Llyr: The Prydain Chronicles Book 3
New York, New York, U.S.A. Laurel Leaf Books 1980 0440911257 / 9780440911258 Mass Market Paperback Near-Fine 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - 206 pages - Since The Book of Three was first published in 1964, young readers have been enthralled by the adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-keeper and his quest to become a hero. Taran is joined by an engaging cast of characters that includes Eilonwy, the strong-willed and sharp-tongued princess; Fflewddur Fflam, the hyperbole-prone bard; the ever-faithful Gurgi; and the curmudgeonly Doli--all of whom become involved in an epic struggle between good and evil that shapes the fate of the legendary land of Prydain. Released over a period of five years, Lloyd Alexander's beautifully written tales not only captured children's imaginations but also garnered the highest critical praise. The Black Cauldron was a Newbery Honor Book, and the final volume in the chronicles, The High King, crowned the series by winning the Newbery Medal for "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children." Henry Holt is proud to present this classic series to a new generation of young readers. Jackets have been handsomely redesigned while retaining the original art of Caldecott Medal-winning artist Evaline Ness. Each retypeset volume now includes a pronunciation guide prepared by Lloyd Alexander. A companion book of short stories, The Foundling and Other Tales of Prydain, is also available in hardcover for the first time in twenty years. In their more than thirty years in print, the Chronicles of Prydain have become the standard of excellence in fantasy literature for children.

Anthony, Piers; Kornwise, Robert Through the Ice
New York, New York, U.S.A. Baen Books 1993 0671721135 / 9780671721138 Mass Market Paperback Very Good 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
Very-good, clean copy. Stated Second Printing. NO remainder marks or clippings. Pages are clean, show light wear (NO tears). Tight spine, clean pages. Pages show light tanning. 290 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. From Publishers Weekly This is a better than average fantasy begun by Kornwise, then completed by Anthony ( Xanth ) after Kornwise's death. In spite of the enforced one-sidedness of the collaboration, the writing is skillful and seamless; in large part because Anthony was Kornwise's favorite author, whose style he emulated in his first novel. Seth Warner, Rame, Tirsa and Vidav are the Chosen, predicted by prophecy to be the decisive factor in a conflict between a putatively evil sorcerer (named Nefarious) and a greedy and bigoted Empire. Furthermore, the outcome on this plane of Earth affects similar moral conflicts on the other planes of Earth, from which each of the Chosen came when called by the Empire's magic. Sent by the Empire to destroy Nefarious, they wonder if they are a suicide decoy to hide the Empire's real attack. Betrayals and the plights of non-humans under the Empire add to their confusion. Their confrontation with Nefarious reveals final truths in a surprising yet logical plot twist. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Anthony, Piers; Lackey, Mercedes If I Pay Thee Not in Gold
New York, New York, U.S.A. Baen Books 1993 0671721755 / 9780671721756 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Sweet, Darrell K. (cover art)
Like-new condition - Appears unread. Stated First Printing - Price inside dustcover: $20.00 - - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears insid ebook. Cover art by Darrell K. Sweet. In the age of the Mazonians women rule through magic - and men suffer what they must. Magical creations only last for a single day (magical food is great for dieting), but that is quite long enough for casting a giant wet blanket (if you're feeling kind) over a would-be rampaging male - or a block of granite (if you're not). No uppity males in Mazonia! But then as now some people rise above what they've been taught. One such is Xylina; somehow she has always understood that being of the wrong gender, or even lacking magical power, is no reason for stripping a human being of dignity. How ironic, then, that the Queen has ordained that in order to avoid execution Xylina must use her magic to publicly conquer the most glorious male Mazonia has ever seen - and how doubly so that together he and Xylina will transform their world.

Beagle, Peter S. The Unicorn Sonata
Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. Turner Publishing, Inc. 1996 1570362882 / 9781570362880 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Rodriguez, Robert
Fine Condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $16.95. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Very-nicely illustrated by Robert Rodruguez. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, clean pages. 160 pages. Synopsis On a hot summer day in Los Angeles, thirteen-year-old Josephine "Joey" Rivera - a misfit in junior high school but a born musician - meets a disquieting young man named Indigo who plays ghostly, haunting music on a horn the hue of a conch shell. The sound of his music stays with her, distant and beguiling, until she follows it down an ordinary street and across an unseen border into a magical world called Shei'rah. There, satyrs, water nymphs, and six-inch-long dragons live side by side with phoenixes and two-headed serpents and the Eldest - the unicorns whose music is the soul of Shei'rah. There are dangers, too - from swarms of tiny, terrible flying creatures called perytons, and from a strange disease that is blinding the Eldest. To Joey, Shei'rah feels like home - but she already has a home across the Border, in our world. She has school and a family and a feisty, beloved grandmother, Abuelita, whom she visits every Sunday in a nursing home. There's also gruff old John Papas, whose dusty instrument-repair shop Joey cleans in exchange for music lessons, and who may know something about the Eldest himself. Within these two worlds whose borders merge mysteriously, Peter S. Beagle spins a tale of one girl who can make a difference. The Unicorn Sonata also tells us that our true home is often right around the corner, if we'd only open our eyes - and our ears - to find it.
