(4) 4-6 Chronicles of the Red King series. Timoken the Red King builds his castle from stones stolen from "the conquerors" and makes a home for his old friends and orphans he newly befriends. The story is told in poetic language, but the dreamlike episodes lack tension, as most problems are resolved using Timoken's unbounded magical powers. Nevertheless, fans will enjoy the pleasant, if flat, narrative arc.
