1.0

I read this book as research into the history of Dungeons & Dragons and that is the only reason anyone should read this. The book is from its time: the women are sex objects (and also the main object of desire is explicitly not an adult), men are two-dimensional, traditional Christian values are upheld, and the racism is definitely uncomfortable. This book is an early contributor to modern fantasy, but should be left in the past.
