{"product_id":"2940011058905","title":"Tales From Gundarland","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong the stories in this book, you’ll find two parodies of Shakespeare’s plays: Romeo and Juliet and The Merchant of Venison. Both stories are now fantasy adventures stocked with dwarfs and elves. Both stories pay lip service to the Bard’s plots, but end up with quite different climaxes.\u003cbr\u003eA novella, Chasing Dreams, was nominated for a Nebula award by the Science Fiction Writers of America.\u003cbr\u003eBoggerts Blue features one of my favorite characters, Burga the Warrior Chef. Burga is on a quest for more recipes and to rescue a kidnapped princess.\u003cbr\u003eThe Big Bang is a tale of magic, both white and black. Mixing both types is mostly a fatal mistake.\u003cbr\u003eThe Queen’s Hero is a fantasy quest concerning a young knight, Knuben, who eager to earn a reputation and three beautiful princesses with a bet on who can bed him first.\u003cbr\u003eIn Inter-racial Musical Playoff’s we witness a band competion with various fantasy races competing for the award while nasty wizards try to influnce the outcome.\u003cbr\u003eFinally, in Tactical Surprise we see a dwarf general famous for winning wars with mostly non-violent battles. This time, he’s also fighting a female dwarf who he has long and secretly admired.\u003cbr\u003eTales From Gundarland was awarded a bronze medal by Readers’ Favorite. EPIC short-listed it for best anthology of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hank Quense","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161916719344,"sku":"2940011058905","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011058905_p0.jpg?v=1763899915","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011058905","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
