A hilarious adventure about a fantasy world in danger of
destruction from that most vile of threats... tourism .Winner of
the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature in 1999. A
humorous fantasy from Diana Wynne Jones. In a world next door to
ours, the tourist industry is devastating the population by its
desire to experience all the fantasy cliches - Dark Lords,
impoverished villages, dragons etc. The Head of the University
resolves to shut the tours down; the only problem being the
ruthless tour-master - and his all-powerful demons. To save them
all, the incompetent wizard Derk is appointed as Dark Lord in the
hope that he will ruin the tours, and sure enough proceeds to fail
at everything due to his general uselessness. But can failing at
everything lead to a win this time?
