Here There Be Dragons / Way Up High

by Roger Zelazny, Vaughn Bodé
Here There Be Dragons / Way Up High by Roger Zelazny, Vaughn Bodé
Unrated

Illustrated by Vaugh Bodé.

During a term as Secretary-Treasurer of Science Fiction Writers of America, Roger Zelazny, winner of six Hugo awards and three Nebula awards, met Vaughn Bodé. Admiring each other's work, they joined forces in the creation of "Way Up High" and "Here There Be Dragons". Roger had written the stories in the late 1960s and found Vaughn's work ideally suited to his text.

Vaughn Bodé once said of himself, "I am the crawly caterpillar, who is the cocoon, who is the butterfly, all at once. Right now... Magick is with us all the time..". Winner of a Hugo award, illustrator of countless comics, book covers, and magazines, Vaughn Bodé died tragically in 1975.

Here at last are these two wonderful stories available as a two book numbered slipcased set each individually signed by Roger Zelazny. Way Up High is the moving story of a little girl's friendship with Herman, the last pterodactyl Here There Be Dragons is the lighthearted tale of a king who wants a dragon as a surprise at his daughter's birthday party and the one sensible knight in the kingdom who is charged with this task.

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny (1937–1995) was an American writer of fantasy and science fiction short stories and novels. He won the Nebula award three times and the Hugo award six times, including two Hugos for novels This Immortal (1965) and the novel Lord of Light (1967).

Zelazny was born in Ohio, the only child of Polish immigrant Joseph Zelazny and Irish-American Josephine Sweet. In high school, Roger Zelazny was the editor of the school newspaper and joined the Creative Writing Club. He was accepted to Columbia University in New York to study English and specialized in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama, graduating with an M.A. in 1962.

Between 1962 and 1969 Zelazny worked for the Social Security Administration in Cleveland and then in Baltimore, spending his evenings writing science fiction. He deliberately progressed from short-shorts to novelettes to novellas and finally to novel-length works by 1965. On 1969 he quit to become a full-time writer, and thereafter concentrated on writing novels in order to maintain his income.

Zelazny was married twice, in 1964 in 1966.

Zelazny was considered one of the leading lights of the ”New Wave” movement in science fiction in the 1960s. He incorporated elements from literary novels of the mainstream into his fiction, and experimented with allusion, lyricism, and mythic imagery. His stories often involved characters from myth, depicted in the modern world. Zelazny's fiction was also highly influenced by wisecracking detective fiction. He was also apt to include modern elements, such as cigarettes, in his fantasy worlds.

A frequent theme is gods or people who become gods. Another recurrent theme is the ”absent father” (or father-figure).
