A hilarious adventure about a fantasy world in danger of destruction from that most vile of threats... tourism .Winner of the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature in 1999. A humorous fantasy from Diana Wynne Jones. In a world next door to ours, the tourist industry is devastating the population by its desire to experience all the fantasy clich???s - Dark Lords, impoverished villages, dragons etc. The Head of the University resolves to shut the tours down; the only problem being the ruthless tour-master - and his all-powerful demons. To save them all, the incompetent wizard Derk is appointed as Dark Lord in the hope that he will ruin the tours, and sure enough proceeds to fail at everything due to his general uselessness. But can failing at everything lead to a win this time?

Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
Although it took me about 3-4 chapters to really get into this book, I am glad that I stuck with it. After all, Nancy Pearl recommends never giving up unless you have read at least 50 pages. Anyway, I thought this was a well written fantasy that depicted a magical world being exploited by an egocentric man from our normal world. Is she poking fun at our government? Who knows...but the theme and plot really get you thinking. Overall this is a great fantasy.
