THE PIG PLANTAGENET. New York: The Viking Press, [1981]. Octavo, illustrations by Michael Foreman, cloth-backed boards. First U.S. edition. The author's first novel. "Set in thirteenth-century France, this adaptation of Michel Héloins LE ROMAN DE FULBERT is an interesting story about a domesticated pig who intervenes in an attempt to slaughter a family of boars and assists them in finding a safe haven. The story is interesting not only for the plot -- in some respects similar to Richard Adams's WATERSHIP DOWN -- but also for the substance of the narrative, filled as it is with wit and elegance while not taking itself too seriously." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror 7-12. Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 4B-13. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#217).
