Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:small;">The &quot;Sagas of Surgard the Traveler&quot; is brilliant. In search of bards' tales for his god Durn, Surgard not only finds tales but is himslef the source for many future tales. This book is bard wisdom at its best. With basic homespun wisdom, Robert Colliins not only tells exciting tales but manages to impart knowledge without letting us know we are learning.</span>
