Roland is renowned for having killed a dragon With his famed arrow Foe-Hammer and eaten its nine-chambered heart, which keeps his heroic aspect alive under his beer fat. Father Roland's not much for sex and manages it only about six times a year, with the aid of an aphrodisiac from court magician Flagg-despite the fact that his Queen Sasha was only 17 when he married her. Prince Peter, 17, is the elder son of Roland, beer-drinking king of Delain who had managed to stay unwed until 50. Featuring 21 charming illustrations by David Palladini, this is an adventure fantasy for young adults-or very old prepubescents-and among King's most accomplished works (though readers who groan at King's unremitting vulgarity in his adult novels will again have a few quarrels to pick).
