4.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny book, July 3, 2000

This review is from: Kender, Gully Dwarves and Gnomes (volume 2) DragonLance Tales (Mass Market Paperback)

All I can say is that the book was great. The majority of the storys were extremly funny, and the others wern't meant to be. Some were Inspirational, especially the first story were Tasslehoff Burrfoot has to save his comrades whom are lost in the snow. Margaret Weis, and Tracy Hickman are my two favorite writers. The only downfall to this book is that one, or two of the storys are boring, and slow. But, that is made up by the other great stories in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gnomes...and more, January 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kender, Gully Dwarves and Gnomes (volume 2) DragonLance Tales (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was perhaps one of the best Dragonlance books not written by Margret Weis and Tracy Hickman. It gives a ton of great information, varying from humorous anecedotes that cause a person to simply smile at the small things in life, to deep, moving tales of that ignite some inner flame to stories of high adventure. It was nice to see stories written, for once, that has truly good kender, gnomish, and gully dwarf heroes. However, it should be noted that one tale involves a minotaur, and was very good too. All in all I would say it was a great book, giving a lot of information on Mount Nevermind that has not been seen since 1987 (Gnomes-100, Dragons-0). A must have!

Another series of short stories involving the world of Krynn, of which I have many of the series. A perfectly fine stand alone series, the stories are full of humor and adventure. The story Hearth Cat and Winter Wren is my favorite from this selection. Exploring the lives of adventurers as they are turned into animals while trying to save people from an evil wizard.
