>>Hilmar, see if you can find "The Fionavar Tapestry". A trilogy by Guy Gavriel Kay. It's quite remarkable. Kay worked with Chris Tolkien on putting together 'The Silmarillion' from J.R.R.'s notes.

It is. It came out long ago, but has since been reissued in Trade edition.

The three books are "The Summer Tree", "Wandering Fire", and "The Darkest Road".

If you can't get them, send me private email with your address and I'll get them to you.

Kay has also written a number of "Historical Fantasies". The guy is a superb writer and just about anything he puts out is worth reading.

In fact, as good as I think Fionavar is, his subsequent books just keep one-upping themselves.

His 'Sarantine Mosaic' is magnificent ("Sailing to Sarantuim", and "Lord of Emperors").
