The Compleat Enchanter: The Magical Misadventures of Harold Shea
The Compleat Enchanter The Magical Misadventures of Harold Shea Author:L. Sprague de Camp, Fletcher Pratt The cover description doesn't do the book justice. This volume contains both "The Incompleat Enchanter" and "The Castle of Iron" and covers Shea's adventures in the worlds of Norse mythology, Spenser's Faerie Queene, and Orlando Furioso. — "The whole wacky affair began when D.r Reed Chalmers, Harold Shea's... more » boss, developed a theory that there were many possible worlds besides our own, and came up with an equation that could send a man into any dimension he chose. Use of the formula plunged both him and Shea into a new life of danger and romance in the land of "The Faerie Queene" - an awesome world of magic and mythology that was hardly the place for a man of science like HArold Shea. But Harold was human too, so it was no wonder he enjoyed the romantic role of adventurer amid bizarre creatures, evil sorcerers and enchanting, seductive women.
"Unfortunately, neither man knew enough about spells or incantations to do anything right the first time. And their adventures were just beginning. Before long, Shea met the beautiful, red-headed huntress Belphebe, who cast her own, very human spell of love. Chalmers encountered the bewitching Florimel, a woman originally formed out of ice and snow by a nefarious warlock. Together they joined forced to fight off a legion of evil wizards who threatened to destroy their enchanted land."« less
