The Wizard of Zao
New York: D A W Books. Good. 1978. Mass Market Paperback. A DAW paperback original. Reading crease some edgewear and bumping PO name inside. Text is starting to yellow but clean and unmarked. <p> "Lin Carter stated that "A few years it occurred to me that it might be fun to design an entire solar system full of planets and set a novel on each planet - and not science fiction novels either as you might logically expect - but heroic fantasy. The Wizard of Zao is just such a novel. Taking place on a planet revolving around a star Kylix in the Constellation of the Unicorn it is Lin Carter at his most imaginative. For the story of the wandering green wizard the most powerful wonder-worker of that amazing sphere of his newly purchased slave girl who knew nothing of civilized way and of the mythical beasts and curious humans they encountered is a constant source of delight. For the wizard did have a purpose to his travels -and thereby hangs the tale!"; 6¾" - 7¾" Tall . D A W Books paperback
