Then Dor met Millie, 800 years younger but just as lovely. And he realized that, in his new body, he was no longer 12 years old... A DEL REY paperback edition. 327 pages.

A XANTH NOVEL. Dor was having troubles growing up to be the next Magician-King of the magic Land of Xanth. He wanted no part of running the Kingdom. But now Good King Trent was leaving on a trade mission to non-magical Mundania, home of such weird beasts as horses and bears, so Dor had to take over as King for a week.
A week passes. No Trent. Then three weeks pass. King Trent still hadn't returned. Surely something terrible had happened; he was apparently held captive in some foul dungeon, unable to escape. Dor as left with the burden of ruling - and with Irene who was entirely too willing to be his Queen.
His only hope was to enter Mundania and free King Trent. But how could it be done without the power of magic? Nevertheless he started forth bravely - together with Irene, a golem, a centaur and a young ogre - heading for the far south of Xanth. The entrance to Mundania, of course, lay to the north.

So what was he doing here with seven assorted females looking to him to guide them and save them? Even in Xanth, where magic made anything possible, why should Tandy the Nymph trust him and seem fond of him? And how could all that high-flown conversation be coming out of his mouth? But that, it seemed, was what he got for going to Good Magician Humphrey for an Answer - before he even knew what the Question was. A DEL REY paperback edition. 307 pages.
