Dudgeon and Dragons

A wizard's work is never done! For Kedrigern, though, wizardry has been a rewarding profession. The hours are unpredictable and far too much travel is required, but it provides the chance to exercise talents usefully and meet interesting people. The pay is good, and dependable-no one stiffs a wizard. For Princess, wizardry is a new experience. Her life has not been easy: Long years hunkered down small and green on a lily pad in a swamp at an age when a lovely young lady prefers to be taking her place in polite society had been followed by a rapid succession of disenchantments and re-enchantments and re-disenchantments, despellings and respellings and re-despellings. Unknown to her, these awkward and uncomfortable years have revealed a latent talent for magic. And she also acquired a very handy pair of wings in the process! Join Kedrigern, Princess, their friends, colleagues, clients and adversaries, as well as an array of colorful characters (talking spiders, talking mirrors, talking dragons, and talking swords among them) in this second collection of complete novels and short stories, presented in reading order.

In this volume are 2 full-length novels and 7 short stories. The novel Kedrigern and the Dragon Comme Il Faut and the short story "The Indispensible Little Prince" appear here in their very first English publication, and "To Market, To Market" makes its print debut here!
