Wizard at Work

This is an absolutely delightful book. It's also a hilarious one. You start out with the wizard. The wizard is young but will make himself look old when potential clients come around since he feels they won't really respect a young wizard.

He's also a wizard that would rather work in his garden or teach they deal with the various people that come to him with their various problems, usually involving some kind of dragon or a princess that needs to be rescued or something like that.

He has his work cut out for him. In the first story he has to deal with problems arising from a wishbone being broken leading to a fat princess and a Saint Bernard dog. The second story deals with a bunch of juvenile delinquent unicorns. The next one is about a Princess who needs to be rescued from a dragon.

Well, sort of. They actually have a kind of relationship, you know. And Princess's don't always want rescuing from Dragons.

Then there's the time that the wizard is asked to rid a castle of a ghost. A castle with a big moat which supposedly has a big monster in it, but a monster which no one has seen for a while. A monster that is kind of dead but doesn't really want to move on yet. A monster who needs a nice lake to live in.

Then there's the last story about the Princess and the quest for the Golden Cucumbers. It's a really, really good story. But then, again, this is a really, really good book, very light-hearted and well written. Velde is an author with a very great deal of talent.
