YAChronicles of Kazam series.
Powerful wizard the Mighty Shandar is once again threatening the lives of the last dragons. To spare them, Jennifer Strange accepts his challenge to find the Eye of Zoltar, said to be on a forbidding peak in the Cambrian Empire ("the land that health and safety forgot"). Fforde sustains the series' high quality of absurdity, wit, and literary inventiveness. Thoroughly satisfying.
