Synopsis

"Tolkien meets Spinal Tap!"More speculative fiction from The Banned Underground collection: in this sixth outing for the series Grizelda (the off-white witch) is forced to speculate about her future in fiction when the Dark Lord tempts her with his cookies, and then threatens her with eviction from her cottage if she doesn't join The Dark Side.Tempted, Grizelda sets off on a journey of self-discovery, but whatever is she likely to find, apart of course from a few frogs?Is it Good to be Bad? Or is it Bad to be Good? Or could there be a Third Way? Frogs, Vampires, and assorted witches and wizards all have a different view on her predicament, and the only certainty is Grizelda's uncertainty ... and the usual stream of gags, one-liners and slapstick jokes provoked by her thoughts on philosophy.'Lord Of The Rings as written by a stand up comedian to the soundtrack of Led Zeppelin IV' said a reviewer on The Guardian's books page.
