sister, Princess Felicia, Prince Andre of Alabaster-on-Gelasta embarks on his
first dragon hunt, but his intended quarry is not really a dragon, but rather a
serving girl enchanted by her employer, Alfreida the witch. - Amazon

I was watching a Youtube about 70’s - 80’s fantasy when this little volume popped up and rang a few faint bells through the dusty corridors of my mind. Was I only considering buying it during a dry spell of available books, or did I buy it and get rid of it so soon that it made hardly an impression on memory? But it made some impression, if only for the Carl Lundgren cover; he was an artist who made me deliberate over any book, even his lesser productions, if only for a little bit. I understand that Yarbro is still alive, if undergoing some health problems and advanced age. Never popped on any of her other books (if I did indeed on this one) but she was always ... around.
