About the book: year / The Magical Polyworld is a world where things and beings are not what (or who) they seem. Here, dragons do not have the habit of feeding on beautiful maidens, and evil trolls have a penchant for writing bad books and baking good pies, cats love to chat, and demons love to have fun. Here, the town idiot Ian Farthing is forced against his will to become the bravest hero there ever was (and never was). It just so happened.
