BOOK REVIEW


Fenzig’s fortune by Jean Rabe

In ten words or less: Gnome gets caught stealing treasure; is sent on dangerous mission.

Fenzig is a gnome who decides to help himself to some of King Erlgrane’s treasure. When caught, the King sends Fenzig on a mission to steal a neighboring Duke’s emeralds. There is a magic sword, a homing spell, dangerous villains, a gypsy peddler of potions, and wizards. The author has written twenty fantasy novels.

Why bother? Humorous—and short—fantasy tale for readers looking for something less than an 800 page tome. Tolkien lite.
