I had completely missed out on this book as a child. So how is it for someone in their 30's?
Very enjoyable, actually. The story, travel, and resolution is obviously aimed at children. Nonetheless, these themes have a unique charm. An oracle pig, a bard who maybe embellishes too much, a grouchy dwarf, a hairy manlike creature, and a very cheeky sorceress come together to help create a truly memorable cast.
The moral lessons contained within are still relevant for children today. I think this should be on the shelf of any fantasy lover, at the very least to be available for child readers.
