When Matt Mantrell returns briefly to modern-day New Jersey, he discovers his parents’ neighborhood has deteriorated into crime and despair. Bringing them back to the magical kingdom of Merovence seems like the perfect solution—until they arrive in the middle of a Moorish invasion. While Queen Alisande wages war, Matt, his newly magical parents, the dragon Stegoman, and an unlikely band of companions race to uncover the sinister wizard manipulating both sides of the conflict before Merovence falls.
EugeneBookStore Summary
One of Christopher Stasheff’s most beloved series, Wizard in Rhyme blends fantasy, humor, poetry, and adventure unlike almost any other fantasy saga. My Son, the Wizard continues the series by expanding both the magical world of Merovence and Matt Mantrell’s growing family, while maintaining the clever verse-based spellcasting and lighthearted storytelling that made the series a favorite among fantasy readers throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Collector Notes
This is the fifth novel in the Wizard in Rhyme series and continues the adventures of Matt Mantrell after the events of The Haunted Wizard. Del Rey’s late-1990s reissues remain collectible, particularly among readers assembling complete Christopher Stasheff collections. While not especially scarce individually, complete matching sets have become increasingly difficult to assemble.
