The Complete Compleat Enchanter

The complete Harold Shea stories from SF master L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt, together at last! In these five tales of the fantastic, psychologist Harold Shea and his colleagues travel to parallel worlds where magic works, and in which mythologies, legends, and literal fantasies of our world can be reached by a system of symbolic magic. The five stories collected in The Complete Compleat Enchanter explore the worlds of Norse mythology, Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, Irish mythology and more. Includes the complete text of the previous collections The Castle of Iron, Wall of Serpents, and The Incompleat Enchanter. Omnibus including The Roaring Trumpet, The Mathematics of Magic, The Castle of Iron, The Wall of Serpents, and The Green Magician. The Baen edition includes an introduction by David Drake. Magic spells masquerading as a college professor's symbolic logic take Harald Shea to a variety of mythical places, including the world of Spenser's "Faerie Queen"
