In Part I of the series (Autumn) we are introduced to a host of weird and wonderful characters and to our main character, Sir Morris Want-A-Lot. He just happens to be a Dan (a dog-man hybrid), a decorated knight of the realm and the main hero of our story. We meet Sir Morris as he returns home to Sinfonia and the royal court from his latest adventure. Here we learn what sort of character he is – his likes, dislikes and his all important relationship with the horse, Elvon. We find our knight travelling through the Drottvaed Ridge, one of the most treacherous regions of Sinfonia. Here we encounter both white and dark magic. Sir Morris Want-A-Lots’ timely arrival near the village of Traetslock is taken as lady luck herself, for he is able to successfully take on hand-to-hand combat with a notorious Fomorian, Gierod the Giant, who has been terrorising local folk and livestock. Genies in bottles, magical moon dust and the ‘freedom of Mordonia’ are just a few delights that await the reader in this wonderful opening book.
