From the Back Cover
It all began with a lecture that introduced five university students to a man who would change their lives, a wizard who could take them from Earth to the heart of the first of all worlds--Fionavar. And take them Loren Silvercloak did, for his need--the need of Fionavar and all the worlds--was great indeed.
And in a marvelous land of men and dwarves, of wizards and gods--and of the Unraveller and his minions of Darkness--Kimberly, Dave, Jennifer, Kevin, and Paul discovered who they were truly meant to be. For the five were a long-awaited part of the pattern known as the Fionavar Tapestry, and only if they accepted their destiny would the armies of the Light stand any chance of surviving when the Unraveller unleashed his wrath upon the world.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Martin Springett (illustrator). 1st Edition. A scarcely found 1st printing of the 1st Canadian hardcover edition of the author's first book SIGNED by Kay on the title page with a blue ballpoint pen. Turquoise paper with gold titles and turquoise endpapers. The true first edition of the opening book in the Fionavar Tapestry. Books Two and Three of the trilogy were published in Canada by Collins. Autographed first printings of those books are also available from this bookseller. A television production of a series based on the Tapestry was already in the planning stage pre-pandemic. We attended an appearance by the author in Toronto in 2019 to promote the publication of A Brightness Long Ago, and he was interviewed with the Executive Producer of the series. CONDITION: A tight copy with no markings by a previous owner or retailer. The exposed page edges are tanned. The corners of the boards are rubbed or blunted, and the heel and crown of the spine have softened. There is a soft dent in the top edge of the front board and the bottom edge of the back board. A barely discernible seam in the surface of the front board corresponds to a shallow channel in the front panel of the jacket. Shallow, circular indentation in the surface of the back board, just below the top edge. The jacket is bright and price intact, and the artwork on both panels is unaffected by the sun, as the photos illustrate. The spine is mildly sunned, and the top edges of the white flaps are tanned. Short, closed tear in the top edge of the front panel and two shorter tears in the top edge of the back panel. There is a puncture in the front panel of the jacket, along the gutter, 3/4 of an inch in length. Softening of the jacket along the top edge of both panels and flaps with edge wear. There are a few, small, unobtrusive indentations in the surface of both panels, along the top edge. Softening and corresponding color loss to the heel of the jacket's spine and the bottom edges of the folds. Bumps to the bottom edge of the back panel, at the fold and at the mid-point, have caused a few cascading wrinkles in the paper, but this is mostly visible from the reverse side of the jacket. Also available from this bookseller is a signed Canadian first printing of The Wandering Fire and a Canadian first of The Darkest Road with a signed plate laid in. Signed by Author(s).
