The Book of Retslu

Dorian, a naive but resourceful young man, who lives in enchanted Retslu, sets out to gain the hand of the beautiful Princess Jennifer by winning King Woden's tournament. Mordrake the Sorcerer, however, places an enchantment on Dorian that causes him to always go the wrong way. As he tries to reach the site of the tourney, he has more narrow escapes than Pauline and meets a host of strange, eccentric characters. Some of them are Gorblud, the friendly vampire; Tiger Lily, the beautiful werecat and Wortisha, the seductive wicked witch. But finding and winning the tournament is only the beginning of Dorian's odyssey. In Part 2, the ten finalists (which include Dorian and Mordrake, of course) must search for the Fountain of Youth. As the ten seek this elusive goal, each in his own way, they have mad adventures in distant and exotic lands: Barbaria, home of Hortilla the Hungol; the Roaming Empire; Nowhere, where you can see the end of the world; and Shangri-La, where no one ever ages.
