Expecting Someone Taller

A mild-mannered Englishman is hurdled into a world of mythological monsters and very real dangers in this classic humorous fantasy.

“Recalls both Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and Twain’s Connecticut Yankee. . . . An entertaining romp!” —Publishers Weekly

All Malcolm Fisher did was run over a badger. Unfortunately, the badger turned out to be Ingolf, the last of the Frost-Giants. With his dying breath he reluctantly gave Malcolm two gifts of power, a magic cap and a magic ring, and made him ruler of the world. Now Malcolm must be on his guard, because with the rings comes a long list of powerful enemies who are desperate to acquire it.

“A superb debut. . . . Delightful!” —Michael Moorcock

About the Author

Tom Holt was born in London in 1961. At Oxford he studied bar billiards, ancient Greek agriculture and the care and feeding of small, temperamental Japanese motorcycle engines; interests which led him, perhaps inevitably, to qualify as a solicitor and emigrate to Somerset, where he specialized in death and taxes for seven years before going straight in 1995. He lives in Chard, Somerset, with his wife and daughter.
