About this title

Review:

Author Paul Warren poses a challenge to readers of Caleb Beldragon's Chronicle of the Three Counties: recover the Malbigon, a magical gemstone, and return it to its rightful place in order to restore peace to a land in turmoil. An elaborately imagined kingdom, once ruled by a good king who was loved and respected by his followers, has been overthrown by his wicked brother, and evil abounds.

"First, the Ids. It is true to say that these sour-faced creatures consider themselves superior to everyone else." "Next, the Urgs. These ugly, restless creatures roam the countryside on the lookout for mischief and are best described as a species of goblin whose main attributes are laziness and greed." "Lastly, the Gibblins... They are cheerful and easygoing, sharp-eyed, and nimble-fingered, with a natural affinity for the land." Intricate illustrations of the creatures, the land they inhabit, maps, calendars, and family trees help bring this fascinating mythical place to life. Budding science fiction and fantasy fans will delight in attempting to decode the secret language of the good-natured Gibblins in order to restore peace and usurp the evil ruler.
