Maikafanawen - The Forgotten Beasts of Eld? That is an incredible book. I first read it in 1977, and can still recall the opening line,

The Wizard Heald coupled with a poor woman once, in the the king's city of Mondor, and she bore a son with one green eye and one black eye.
In fact, you have inspired me to run off to Amazon and order a hardcover edition, for it truely deserves a space on my "keeper" bookshelf.

Patricia McKillip is a incredible writer. Everyone on this site should read that book.
