In a tiny, isolated kingdom long ago and far away, everyone believed that the world beyond was infested with fearsome, fire-breathing dragons and no one dared venture forth. No one, that is, except William, fourth (and wisest) advisor to the king, whose bravery would change forever the course of events in the little kingdom. The princess' birthday party promised to be a gala affair. The great dining hall of the palace resounded with music. There was dancing and wine and big platters of food. There was everything that a person could possibly want at a birthday party. Except for fireworks, that is. Or a fire-breathing dragon. Illustrated with 6 full-page color illustrations as well as a full color wrap-around cover by Vaughn Bode.

Roger Zelazny
Amerikansk forfatter som levede fra 1937 til 1995. Han begyndte at skrive SF og fantasy I 1962. Nogle af de historier han skrev I sin karrieres tidlige år blev trykt under psudonymet Harrison Denmark, et navn vi alle kan godkende. Zelazny vandt mange priser for sine historier, men hans mest kendte verden er stadig "Amber" bøgerne, som startede med "Nine Princes in Amber" fra 1970. Det blev oprindeligt til fem bøger I serien, men efter nogle års pause skrev han endnu en serie på fem. Alle ti bøger er nu blevet samlet I "The Great Book of Amber." Romanen "Lord of Light" er en anden af Zelazny's mest roste bøger.
