Silverlock — (1949-1981) Publisher: A. Clarence Shandon, a selfish and conceited lad from Chicago, is shipwrecked off the (imaginary) Commonwealth. He acquires a guide and a friend... he travels across country via Walting Street meeting every well known character: Robin Hood, Beowulf, Haoratius, and dozens more. He goes to Xanadu and Thebes an Ilium... he resuces maidens in distress, meet sorcerers, witches and alchemists... Within all this wit and satire and derring-do, as an inner theme, is the development of a cocky young know-it-all into Silverlock, the gallant knight.

Stand-alone novel:  The Harp and the Blade — (1941) Publisher: The blue-painted wizard appeared and spoke to Finnian. "You let a man die today because you couldn't be bothered!" "It wasn't my business." "You think nothing in life is your business!" the wizard howled. "But I'll make it so things will be!" Finnian waited alert, ready to kill if the wizard voiced a curse, but he only looked hard and said: "From now on, as long as you stay in my land, you will aid any man or woman in need of help." That didn't sound so bad..until Finnian discovered the whole realm needed help! |
