Enjoyable story, laden with Christian symbolism and narrative. I read through the second half quickly due to a well paced story that kept me captive.
Thank you very much to the kind person that took this to my favorite home for used books. I fell in love with Kedrigern the moment he made a debut in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and am happy to include this one with the others.

Eventually Kedrigern becomes lonely and decides he’d like a wife. After a couple of unsuccessful courting efforts, he stumbles upon a beautiful and intelligent princess who has been turned into a frog. What luck! Kedrigern’s area of expertise is counterspells, but ... Read More:

What's not to love? A Wizard, a Princess, and a house troll named Spot; it's fun, and the world needs fun, especially well written and gentle fun.
