The world of Raymond Feist is beautifully
depicted in Midkemia: The Chronicles of
Pug (available from Harper Voyager £20) an illustrated deluxe compendium, complete with maps,
character drawings, and first-person narrative text.
“‘In the first year of the
reign of King Lyam conDoin, I, Pug of Crydee, magician to the royal court and
cousin to the King by adoption, do take quill in hand and set forth this writ,
that all may benefit from the knowledge I have gained…’ – Pug of Stardock
So begins the narrative account
of Feist’s best-selling character, Pug of Stardock, for Midkemia Atlas. Part
travel log/journal and part atlas, this visual compendium brings the world of
Midkemia to illustrative life.
Starting at the Far Coast, the
Pug, the hero of The Chaoswar Trilody,
recounts his childhood, before he embarks on a journey that takes him to the
Grey Towers, Sorcerer’s Isle, and Krondor. Pug also encounters several favourite
characters and people along the way – including Jimmy and Locky, the Sauur, and
Erik and Roo in Ravernburg.”
